The music was composed by Sedaka and the lyrics by Howard Greenfield . Recorded in 1960 and released in 1961, it was a Top - 5 hit single for Sedaka, peaking at #4 on the US charts and #1 on the Canadian and Japanese charts . </P> <P> Howard Greenfield got the inspiration for the song title from an old movie listing in TV Guide . Record producer Joe Viglione, writing for AllMusic, describes the song as a G - rated calendar of pin - ups such as Betty Grable and Marilyn Monroe, using verbal rather than visual imagery . Each month gives a different reason for the singer's affection for the titular character, and September--"I light the candles at your sweet sixteen"--may be a reference to Sedaka's yet - to - be-released hit "Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen" or just an acknowledgement of his target audience . Other months in the song reference Valentine's Day in February, the Easter Bunny in April, a junior prom in May and June . </P>
