In honor of Cheryl Lavender's month chants, found in Music Express, I have written a little something like she does, for the Month of March. It goes like this:

M - A - / R C H -
win-ter's al-most o - ver / is-n't that great? -
Spring will soon be with us / then we'll celebrate!
M - A - / R C H -

(ta [rest] ta [rest] / ta ta ta [rest]
ti ti ti ti ta ta / ti ti ta ta [rest]
ti ti ti ti ta ta / ti ti ti ti ta [rest]

(S [rest] M / L L S [rest]
