Outside the world is frightful
Everything is closing down
The streets look like stained linen
All over this frigid town
People huddle on the subway
Trying to generate some heat
No need to be modest or indiscreet
It's a snow day
We're not going anywhere
A snow day
As white as grandma's hair
Might as well build a fire
And pile on the clothes
Outside it's twenty below
The whole world has froze
Outside the world is hateful
Shoppers shoving that way and this
Must be out of the Christmas spirit
Must be out of the Christmas bliss
Time to take stock
And leave a little in the tipping tray
Tomorrow could come Judgment Day
Outside the world is sleeping
Nowhere to go and no one about
In our beds we dream of tomorrow
When we will have to dig ourselves out
Life will start returning
And we will go on about our stuff
Among a sea of marshmallow fluff
