The drifts are high as an elephant's eye
And they ain't melting down any time soon
The subway's stuck and they're passing the buck
It's run by some cranky old buffoon
She's says, "This ain't my first rodeo, you know
And it won't likely be last"
But the second that it got a little rock and roll
She got out of there fast
She is leaving before the snow comes
The snow came down on Boston town
With a fury none of us had ever seen
It covered the streets like a dirty white sheet
Like an angry snow-makin' machine
The mayor tell us that this is a crisis
As if we didn't already know
He says, "But it's OK, help is on the way"
Now we wonder where that mayor did go
He is leaving before the snow comes
Well the drifts are piled high right up to the sky
And the weatherman says more is on the way
And all I wanna do is twenty-three skidoo
And do it, do it without delay
Leaving before the snow comes
Leaving before the snow comes
