January In January it's so nice While slipping on the sliding ice To
sip hot chicken soup with rice Sipping once, sipping twice Sipping chicken
soup with rice
February In February it will be My snowman's
anniversary With cake for him and soup for me! Happy once, happy
twice Happy chicken soup with rice
March In March the wind blows
down the door And spills my soup upon the floor It laps it up and roars
for more Blowing once, blowing twice Blowing chicken soup with
rice
April In April I will go away To far off Spain or old
Bombay And dream about hot soup all day Oh, my, oh, once, oh, my, oh,
twice Oh, my, oh, chicken soup with rice
May In May I truly think
it best To be a robin lightly dressed Concocting soup inside my
nest Mix it once, mix it twice Mix that chicken soup with
rice
June In June I saw a charming group Of roses all begin to
droop I pepped them up with chicken soup! Sprinkle once, sprinkle
twice Sprinkle chicken soup with rice
July In July I'll take a
peep Into the cool and fishy deep Where chicken soup is selling
cheap Selling once, selling twice Selling chicken soup with
rice
August In August it will be so hot I will become a cooking
pot Cooking soup of course-why not? Cooking once, cooking twice Cooking
chicken soup with rice
September In September, for a while I will
ride a crocodile Down the chicken soup-y Nile Paddle once, paddle
twice Paddle chicken soup with rice
October In October I'll be
host To witches, goblins and a ghost I'll serve them chicken soup on
toast Whoopy once, whoopy twice Whoopy chicken soup with
rice
November In November's gusty gale I will flop my flippy
tail And spout hot soup-I'll be a whale! Spouting once, spouting
twice Spouting chicken soup with rice
December In December I will
be A baubled, bangled Christmas tree With soup bowls draped all over
me Merry once, merry twice Merry chicken soup with rice
I told you
once, I told you twice All seasons of the year are nice For eating chicken
soup with rice
