Lyrics

January, February, March, April
May, June, July
August, September, October, November
December, we say bye-bye...

January, February, March, April
May, June, July
August, September, October, November
December, we say bye-bye...

To remember the number of days in each month
Put 2 fists together and say for each month
Knuckles have 31, spaces have 30
But there’s 28 days in February

There are 12 months or 365 days in a year,
Cause we count the sun appear and disappear
We use a solar calendar called the Gregorian calendar
Cause we count time by counting days and group them into months and years​

January, February, March, April
May, June, July
August, September, October, November
December, we say bye-bye...

January, February, March, April
May, June, July
August, September, October, November
December, we say bye-bye...
