Let me tell you ‘bout January
First month of the year
When there’s champagne and fireworks
You’ll know that she’s here
That’s January
January
.
Her first day is quite short
‘cause you wake up real late
You chuck out your calendars
And write the wrong date
That’s January
January
.
She likes lots of planning
Sends kids back to school
Kicks out Christmas décor
And sets some new rules
That’s January
January
.
In the North she’s real cool
With snow and grey skies
In the South she’s all hot
With heat waves and flies
That’s January
January
.
Treat her with respect
And a small pinch of fear
If you get her right,
You’ll sure have a good year
That’s January
January
.
