Way Up North In the Ice and Snow

Way Up North in the Ice and Snow By Elton Camp Though I could adjust to living any place The cold & snowy north I’d hate to face I don’t care for such a region, by heck Step outside, fall and break your neck Imagine needing to buy things at the store When you can’t move on roads anymore Snow that threatens to make roof fall in Why, I just wouldn’t know where to begin Whether you live in a mansion of a hovel There’ll be sidewalks & driveways to shovel Snowdrifts extending so high up the wall Some years, it will begin in the early fall Stay outside too long and you just might Lose your nose or fingertips to frostbite Such severe conditions I don’t want to see Living here in Alabama seems best to me
