I filk, therefore I am

[eor]

A filk for those out shoveling today. The first bit of it popped into my head this morning before work, but I sat down and pounded it out this afternoon after getting the chains on the van.


To the tune of Jimmy Buffett's 'Volcano'

Chorus:
Now it's gonna snow
It's gonna snow
It's gonna snow, grab a shovel and go
When the nor'easter blow

Chorus:
Well help me shovel now
It's gonna snow
It's gonna snow
It's gonna snow, grab a shovel and go
When the nor'easter blow

Got white out down south of me
The radar has rainbow colors see
Got white stuff up in the sky
Pretty soon be three feet high

Chorus:
Hey it's gonna snow
It's gonna snow
It's gonna snow, grab a shovel and go
When the nor'easter blow

Now my girl quickly said to me
Man, clear my space nice and neat
Those flakes come down my car got caught
You better mova it now or lova me not

Chorus:
See it's gonna snow
It's gonna snow
It's gonna snow, grab a shovel and go
When the nor'easter blow

"Hey McNalley."

No time to relieve this mirth
The white stuff cover all the earth
I should a gone where there's sun and rum
They say flurry, more soon come

Chorus:
It's gonna snow
It's gonna snow
It's gonna snow, grab a shovel and go
When the nor'easter blow

It's coming down in New York City
Cover de land in Mexico (oh no no)
Cover de land in the Chebeague Island
Cover de road and drifts will grow (oh no no)

Cover de land in where your car parked
Tow man tonight be happy (oh no no)
Cover de whole of Portland airport
But they no close, so you will see (oh no no)

Cover de land in that Londonderry
Cover de land in that far Booth Bay (oh no no)
Cover de land and not ever stop fallin'
I got nothin' a more to say

Chorus:
It's gonna snow
It's gonna snow
It's gonna snow, grab a shovel and go
When the nor'easter blow

My apologies to Mr. Buffett.  All the blame for this one is mine.
