Calendar Song
Tomin Mooney 1972 (Cochin)
January didn’t love February
March and April were weary at War
But May looked longingly at June
Every time July sighed at August’s sight
September and October were in love
While November cradled December’s baby
Now January had second thoughts about February
As March waved a truce of white at April
June looked back at May eyes wide
July continued tizzy and dizzy bout August
September and October tied the knot
December’s baby was now toddling along yoo-hoo
November o November where art thou ?
