SNOW DAY ADVICE
V1
Every year in December long as I can remember
A nor’easter blew on through
When no school was reported all the kiddies cavorted
Cause we know what we would do
We would meet up with our buddies on the cul-de-sac
Marybeth and Paulie Kenny Jane and Jack
Our winter gear was spread out on the hallway floor
And Mama gave the orders as we tumbles out the door
She told us
CHORUS
Keep your hats and mittens on
Be careful sledding at the park
Skating’s on at Slater’s Pond
Make sure you’re home before it’s dark
Build your fort down in the field and snowman in the front yard
But whatever you do, wherever you go
Don’t eat the yellow snow
V2
We would slide down the hills never feeling the chill
Then we’d have a snowball fight
All our noses were runnin’ it was all so much fun and
We stayed out til the fading light
Then we gathered up our skates and sleds to bring them home
Tired as can be through all the frozen snow
We laughed and talked about the fun we had that day
Over cookies and hot chocolate the Mama made
I remember
CHORUS
Keep your hats and mittens on
Be careful sledding at the park
Skating’s on at Slater’s Pond
Make sure you’re home before it’s dark
Build your fort down in the field and a snowman in the front yard
But whatever you do wherever you go
Don’t eat the yellow snow
BRIDGE
I’m all grown up now
And the memories make me smile
I give my kids the same advice
That I got when I was a child
I tell them
CHORUS
Keep your hats an mittens on
Be careful sledding at the park
Skating’s on at Slater’s Pond
Make sure you’re home before it’’s dark
Build your fort down in the field and a snowman in the front yard
But whatever you and wherever you go
Don’t eat the yellow snow
