Lyrics
(Folk song)
1. Sixty seconds make a minute, Something sure you can learn in it.
Sixty minutes make an hour, Work with all your might and power.
Twenty-four hours make a day, Time enough for work and play.
Seven days a week will make, You will learn if pains you take.
2. Fifty-two weeks make a year, Soon a new one will be here;
Twelve long months a year will make, Say them now without mistake.
Thirty days- hath September, April June and cold November;
All the rest have thirty one; February stands alone.
3. Twenty-eight is all his share, With twenty-nine in each leap year.
That you may the leap year know, Divide by four and that will show,
In each year are seasons four, You will learn them I am sure;
Spring and Summer, then the Fall; Winter last, but best of all.
