Though April showers will come your way They bring the flowers that bloom in May So when it's raining Have no regrets Because it isn't raining rain, you know It's raining violets
Oh, the days dwindle down To a precious few... November... December... And these few precious days I'll spend with you These precious days I'll spend with you
January brings the snow Makes your feet and fingers glow February's Ice and sleet Freeze the toes right off your feet Enter March with wintry winds Would thou wert not so unkind April brings it's sweet sweet showers On and on for hours and hours Farmers fear unkindly May Frost by night and hail by day June just rains and never stops 30 days and spoils the crops In July the sun is hot Is it shining? No it's not
Flanders and Swann (covers the whole year and is apparently a spoof of a poem that English children were taught to remember the months)
The horns upon this ram, sir, they reached up to the sky A man climbed up in January and he didn't get back till July And he rambled, he did ramble He did ramble till those butchers cut him down

January brings the snow
Makes your feet and fingers glow
February's Ice and sleet
Freeze the toes right off your feet
Enter March with wintry winds
Would thou wert not so unkind
April brings it's sweet sweet showers
On and on for hours and hours
Farmers fear unkindly May
Frost by night and hail by day
June just rains and never stops
30 days and spoils the crops
In July the sun is hot
Is it shining? No it's not
Flanders and Swann (covers the whole year and is apparently a spoof of a poem that English children were taught to remember the months)
He jumped so high, high, high
He touched the sky, sky, sky
And he didn't come back, back, back
Till the fourth of July-ly-ly
- "Miss Mary Mack"
The horns upon this ram, sir, they reached up to the sky
A man climbed up in January and he didn't get back till July
And he rambled, he did ramble
He did ramble till those butchers cut him down
