May I introduce myself
I'm the month that they say they most fear
They call me January
I'm the Monday it seems of the year
I'm announced with disdain
For unlike the weekend
Monday holds nothing but dread
So many just do the only way through it is through
More than simply implied it is said
My siblings are wild and gregarious
July and August just constantly sneer
Well they cackle in droves
And December's all show
I'm the short straw that always appears

It's like following Elvis The Beatles
Why would anyone do such a thing?
At the height of their fame everyone's screaming their name
And no one here wants you to sing
No one here wants you no one here wants you
No one here wants you to sing

Yes I confess that I'm January
Not the month that you want me to be
I'm uninteresting and bare
And would anyone care
If the year started with February?
