Maybe you’ve seen “Frozen”. Maybe you’ve been frozen. Either way, I think you can relate to how I changed the song’s words, to reflect my feelings about winter. If you’re not familiar with the song, just ask any kid. If they don’t have the soundtrack or a karaoke version, they can probably still hum the tune from memory.
“I Don’t Want To Build a Snowman”
(sung to the tune of Do You Want to Build a Snowman)
I don’t wanna build a snowman.
Come on, are you crazy?
I’m not going near that frozen door
Call me a bore
I’m not going to freeze today.
I’m used to being warm
and when I’m not
I wish that I could die!
I don’t wanna get the frostbite.
I don’t want to see fingers white.
Go away, Winter.
Okay? Bye…
I don’t wanna build a snowman.
Or get hit with wet snowballs.
I think the outside may be for you,
I don’t like turning blue
and suffering from falls.
(Just hangin’ at home.)
I’ll stoke a fire or two
Staying in my room,
and at least then I won’t die.
(Brrrrrrr)
Please don’t make me go out there,
People are asking when it will end.
They say their skin has turned to ice,
Out there it’s not so nice:
Just go back in.
We’re not such a fan
Of this icy land,
But what are you gonna do?
I don’t wanna build a snowman. [sniff]
I’m with you… “not such a fan of this icy land.” And it’s only February!
The only thing February has going for it is that it’s short, and not January ….
Any song that has the lyrics “at least then I won’t die” works for Bill Y.
I was thinking of you when I wrote that!
