lyrics

By the end of the month
We had all had more than enough
And down to the man
We suffered the year's other plans
The calendar page stayed the same

By January 45
We awaited our Valentines
But they never came
The calendar page wouldn't change
No matter how we played the game

Please say something that will upend
The January that wouldn't end
Please do something real that will rescind
The January that wouldn't end

When Spring should be filling the Earth
Celebrating the year of my birth
Not saying what it's supposed to say
It should be near May
But the calendar page wouldn't change
No matter how we played the game
Everything we did to rekindle the flame
But the motor stopped running we're all to blame
