With the announcement from MPS that schools will be closed on Wednesday for the blizzard, I give you Snow Day from Justin Roberts and his album Jungle Gym.
UPDATE: The song is available for FREE download. Click here.
Here are the lyrics to Snow Day:
C’mon let’s listen to the radio
Don’t you know, it’s been falling for hours
And we really don’t wanna go
We got snow piled high as towers
Icicles are hanging from wires
Dad’s in the driveway squealing tires
Well, it seems safe to say
That we’re well on our way
To a snow day
CHORUS
C’mon, c’mon just make the call
Then we’ll pile it up tall
Sure some cars are gonna stall
But everything will be okay
Cause we’re taking a snow day
Now the sidewalks slick with ice
It’s so nice for sneaker skating
If you could be more precise
Then we might not be stuck here waiting
While snow fort bricks must be laid
And angels wait to be made
So please let’s us stay
Don’t want lunch on a tray
I need a snow day
C’mon, c’mon just make the call
Then we’ll pile it up tall
Somebody might just slip and fall
But everything will be okay
Cause we’re taking a snow day
Please don’t say the words: late start
That would only break my heart
Take a look at all the neighbors dressed in old snow pants
Their shovels just don’t stand a chance
I think it’s safe to say that we’re taking a snow day
C’mon, C’mon let’s go and listen to the radio
Cause you know it’s been falling forever
And we really don’t wanna go
We got snow and it won’t stop never
So won’t you say our district’s name
The teachers all feel the same
It’ll all be ok
We’ll make it up in late May
We need a snow day
