April in Paris
Whom can I run to?
What have you done to my heart?

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

(Weill/Brecht)

Margaret said...

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)

Margaret said...

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"

Margaret said...

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

folk song
