Snow (2019) - to the tune of Sit Down You're Rockin' the Boat from Guys and Dolls

 

I dreamed one night ‘bout a quarter past December

I saw two crowds standing out beyond my door

And one group stood, warm and snug in puffy jackets

And they begged me to announce six weeks more

 

For the skiers all said, Go snow!

Oh Phil, we want it to snow

Skiers all said, Go snow!

Oh Phil, we want it to snow

We love shushing down the mountain

In a sparkling world of winter white

Go snow, go snow, go snow, go snow

Oh Phil, we want it to snow

 

And as I looked at the others who had gathered

I noticed they were not having any fun

They shivered and then they rubbed their hands for friction

And they begged me for some warmth and sun

 

Early springers all said, No snow!

Oh Phil, we’re ready for heat

Springers all said, No snow!

Oh Phil, let’s go to the beach

We’re tired of feeling chilly

And we’ve had enough of this wintry mess

No snow, no snow, no snow, no snow,

Oh Phil, we’re ready for heat

 

And so today yet before the sun was rising

A great big crowd came a-knockin’ at my door

I wondered how I’d adjudicate among them

Spring then summer or six weeks more?

But the people all said…

    [Choose option 1 or 2.]

1. Go snow!

Oh Phil, we want it to snow

People all said, Go snow!

Oh Phil, we want it to snow

We love shushing down the mountain

In a sparkling world of winter white

Go snow, go snow, go snow, go snow

Oh Phil, we want it to snow

 

2. No snow!

Oh Phil, we’re ready for heat

People all said, No snow!

Oh Phil, let’s go to the beach

We’re tired of feeling chilly

And we’ve had enough of this wintry mess

No snow, no snow, no snow, no snow,

Oh Phil, we’re ready for heat
