We had Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve
On the right dates, I do believe
But January five and six
Are thrown into Europe's calendar mix
My diary says the week starts on Monday
But others think it starts on Sunday
Now Chinatown's got 'Chinese' New Year
Koreans say, Lunar New Year here!
Another date is used by Muslims
And autumn's when the school year begins
What have I forgotten? Never fear
I've remembered the Jewish New Year
I'm busy all year with New Years
I've lots of research to explain
Just as I've passed the last New Year
We start with New Year once again.
