If You Go Down To the Streets
if you go down to the streets today
beware of the frozen ground
if you go down to the streets today
you're sure to go slippin' around
for all the snow so pretty last night
has gathered there and turned into
ice
Today's the day you need claws on
your footsies.
winter time is such lovely fun
with snowflakes dancing in the light
watch them, catch them
challenge friends in snowball fight
you can sleigh, you can ski, print
angels in snow
"Till the cold and the wind come like
thieves in the night
and a fire and your bed fill your heart
with delight
it's cold down there in the streets
today
it's better to stay at home
it's vile down there in the streets
today
It's safer to stay at home.
the icy winds got spiteful alone
and turned pavements to soapy
stone
and getting around is sure to be no
picnic
