lyrics

January, February, March and April
May, June, July and August
September, October, November, December

Dawn breaks and the shadows flee
Now is the season for singing
Rise up, come along with me
Now is the time for rejoicing

We sing a song to the wide open ocean
We lift our voices to the heavens above
We send a song over mountains and valleys
We sing our hearts out with a message of love

Come along to the banquet hall
Now is the season for singing
Eat, drink, there is food for all
Now is the time for rejoicing

There is a time to be sad and mournful
There is a time to get up and dance
There is a time to be careful and silent
There is a time to take a chance!

Jubilate, jubilate

Through the good times, through the hard times
We will go on singing
Through the turning of the seasons
We will go on singing

Through the good times, through the hard times
We will go on singing
Growing older, as the years go by
We will go on singing

January, February, March and April
May, June, July and August
September, October, November, December

Dawn breaks and the shadows flee
Now is the season for singing
Rise up, come along with me
Now is the time for rejoicing

We sing a song to the wide open ocean
We lift our voices to the heavens above
We send a song over mountains and valleys
We sing our hearts out with a message of love - of love!
