Oh, the weather outside is frightful
And I wish my kids weren't idle
‘Cause to work I must still go
Shovel snow, shovel snow, shovel snow

Everyone inside still sleeping
It has not stopped since last evening
Can barely walk through the door
Shovel snow, shovel snow

When I get out of bed at five
When I have to go out in the storm
But my face is so cold with ice
While they’re inside and stay warm

My spirit is slowly dying
And, my ears, I wish were flying
While they pour some salt on the roads
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!”
