The Lyrics
Entry number 4 in the "25 Days of Christmas Parody" challenge. I kinda cheated and revised a spoof I wrote when I attempted this challenge a couple years ago...but I think I made it a lot better. Original Song
Oh, the weather outside is frightful
And I wish my kids weren't idle
‘Cause to work I still must go
Shovel snow, shovel snow, shovel snow
Everyone inside still sleeping
It has not stopped since last evening
I really don’t want to go
Shovel snow, shovel snow
When I get out of bed at five
I will have to go out in the storm
And my face is so cold with ice
While they’re inside, nice and warm
Now my spirit is slowly dying
And I swear, I’m really trying
But there’s still the driveway to go!
Shovel snow, shovel snow, shovel snow
Face and knuckles are turning white
Now it’s all almost done, I’m so sore
But then I look up to the sky
Snow comes back down, it just pours!
Now the snow continues falling
To my boss, I’m gonna call in
“There’s no way that I’m coming, so...
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!”
And I wish my kids weren't idle
‘Cause to work I still must go
Shovel snow, shovel snow, shovel snow
Everyone inside still sleeping
It has not stopped since last evening
I really don’t want to go
Shovel snow, shovel snow
When I get out of bed at five
I will have to go out in the storm
And my face is so cold with ice
While they’re inside, nice and warm
Now my spirit is slowly dying
And I swear, I’m really trying
But there’s still the driveway to go!
Shovel snow, shovel snow, shovel snow
Face and knuckles are turning white
Now it’s all almost done, I’m so sore
But then I look up to the sky
Snow comes back down, it just pours!
Now the snow continues falling
To my boss, I’m gonna call in
“There’s no way that I’m coming, so...
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!”

People get to work about 10, talk a while, and then get word that non-essential workers can go home at lunch time. Schools get cancelled, but cable folks continue working. We see what is important.
What does if feel like to be called "non-essential". I'd get worried. There was a story about a school in British Colombia that cancelled classes because the temperature dropped to -50 degrees. Students began calling to find out if that evening's dance was still on. Where is global warming when you need it?
Actual "original" performer is Vaughn Monroe, and it was re-recorded by many subsequent artists. So it's not a 'Traditional' song. Still, I vote 5 5 5 on it because I liked it.
Five 16oz cups of Earl Grey - double bergamot - and cranberry orange scones.
