WALKING IN MY WINTER UNDERWEAR
As sung by Stan Boreson and Doug Setterberg
Tune: WINTER WONDERLAND

1. Sleigh bells ring, and I'm listening,
But I'm turning and twisting,
'Cause I'm itching up here and I'm scratching down there,
Walking in my winter underwear.

2. Now the front is all battered,
And the back is all tattered,
But when I'm cold to the core, I crawl through the trap door,
And up into my winter underwear.

BRIDGE: Well, I don't care if it rains or snows or freezes.
I am so warm I just don't give a hoot.
I put on all the stockings I can locate,
Then I wear two pair of trousers with my suit.

3. But when I start to perspire,
Well, then it sets me on fire,
'Cause I'm itching up here and I'm scratching down there,
Walking in my winter underwear.

4. The winter snow is white and glist'ning,
But I'm turning and twisting.
I got to scratch a little here; I got to scratch a little there,
Walking in my winter underwear.

5. I put my bathing suit away in mothballs,
And now I got to duck the snowballs.
When I can't scratch my back, I throw myself out of whack,
Walking in my winter underwear.

BRIDGE 2: For rain and snow and ice I do not worry.
When winter come, I do not give a hoot.
My coat and hat and earmuffs keep me cozy,
And I wear two pair of trousers with my suit.

6. But when it come to other clothing,
Well, the thing that I am loathing
Is when my face turn blue, and contortions I go through,
Walking in my winter underwear—
(They're from Sears Roebuck)
Walking in my winter underwear.
