(Otherwise known as...The Worst Rap Song Ever Written...but by a white girl, who loves the snow, and finds that writing a rap song relieves some of her excitement...and... some of her dignity...but her friends say, "It wouldn't be the first time"...and "probably not the last." "Plus, she didn't have much to begin with.")
You say you wanna know
Why it is, I love da snow?
Da snow days, yeah
Da snow days...uh huh
Well, I give it to ya like dis
And I say it real slow, don't ya miss
Gotta take ya back in time
Take ya down South
Down South where da sun do shine
It shine and shine, short sleeves till November
Where yo coat? Don't remember!
Been so long since it snowed,
Kids don't know,
they don't know--'less they snow ski--
See it on t.v.,
They talk about '93,
When it snowed for just a little bit
Barely cover the grass, but it counts, quit yer fit.
Now, sleet and ice and frozen lines
They know, they remember those 'jes fine
Camped out in the den with their Auntie, for a week last time.
But, the fluffy stuff? That snowman fluff?
They don't remember, can't get enough.
Da snow days, yeah
Da snow days...uh huh!
Ya mama say, "Hurry up, get on in dis wagon
Gotta get to the store, beat the crowds that is draggin'
Grocery stores crazy, cash registers blinging, people flinging
Gettin milk and bread, and Little Debbies gone missin
Grab the Cola, don't you forget Mama's soda
She needs her drank, if the kids gonna bug
No school, they gonna bug her till she shoo 'em out the door, shake a rug.
Da snow days, yeah
Da snow days...uh huh
Goin out in da snow, in a coat and some rain boots
Wearin' 3 socks, still your toes freeze like ice blocks
Stomping through the yard, writing out your name in footprints
Your dog messing up, crazy round and round she sprints...and then she tints (oops!)
Da snow days, yeah
Da snow days...uh huh!
Sledding down Vanessa's hill, yeah that thrill as you grin, and you laugh, you fly
Then half a mile of walking, you dragging up that sled, gonna take another try
And another, and another, till your toes and cheeks and nose about to die
Then heading on home for some Swiss Miss,
You know your mama's got this,
Gonna sit by the fire, with your friends, take a break
Warm it up, dry it out, make a plan, "Where we gonna skate?"
Walkin all over town, not a car in sight
Never walk this way, this far--embarassin!!--but in snow--it's all right!!
Da snow days, yeah
Da snow days...uh huh
Gettin colder, gettin darker, gettin hungrier all a sudden
Better head on home, Mama's chili 's on the oven.
See ya tomorrow, do you think that again they'll cancel? It's a gamble...
I want another day to play, to go back, 'jes one more time, wouldn't you?
30 snow years back, with my best snow friend ever--my buddy Matthew.
Da snow days, yeah
Da snow days...uh huh!
The end
(of my dignity)
