Well, here's a version of the snow shanty parody of "South Australia" that we've been singing lately:

A SNOW SHANTY
(Words by Eileen McGann © Adapted by Charlie Ipcar, as usual Traditional Tune: South Australia)

As I awoke one frozen morn,
Heave away, haul away,
Radio said there'd been a storm,
I'll be late for work this morning.

Chorus:

Haul away, you frozen thing,
Heave away, haul away,
Haul away, now hear me sing,
I'll be late for work this morning.

There's just one thing that grieves me mind,
To leave this nice warm bed behind.

I tried to open up the door,
Snow's piled up five feet or more.

I kicked that door to make a gap,
Took one step, I'm on me back.

Got a shoveling job ahead,
Except that shovel's in the shed.

Now to shovel out the cars,
If I can find just where they are.

The driveway's done, the cars are clear,
What's that rumbling noise I hear?

That city plow goes thundering by,
Leaving snow banks ten feet high.

The cars are buried, all hope has fled,
Heave away, haul away,
It's time I headed back to bed!
I'll be late to work this morning...

This song is not quite as halarious this morning as it was the last time I sang it!
