Hi hi,

Well, here's a song for all real northerners to sing. It's been -40 or so up here in the Yukon, and this song, which is a parody I wrote for Yukon Territorial Government workers who aren't allowed to smoke inside public buildings, which is where they work, so they have to huddle outside and puff there, has gotten a fair number of requests over the past few years. I'd love to get the lyrics for another parody of this called,"Walking 'Round In Women's Underwear"for my novelty song collection.

SMOKING IN A WINTER WONDERLAND
Words by Marty Waldman. Music not.

Storm outside, snowflakes glisten,
Warm outside, but they're missin'
The highs that we get suckin' on cigarettes
While we're smokin' in a winter wonderland.

Gotta puff, 'cause we're addicted
Can't inside, 'cause it's restricted
Such a beautiful sight, as our nostrils turn white
Smokin' in a winter wonderland.

Softly muttering words far from holy
Huddling in a howling arctic breeze
Some lunatic is trying to make a rollie
But his hands are shaking like he's got D.T.'s.

Very soon, we'll perspire
As our lips catch on fire
As the numbness sets in and we lose layers of skin
While we're smoking in a winter wonderland.

Cold enough to freeze our buns and then some
Shivering in our cardigans and skirts
Looking forward to the day when spring comes
But 'till then we're gonna smoke 'em till it hurts.

You may sneer, you may snicker
As we crouch o'er the flicker
Of a sputtering Bic, to get one more flick
And keep on smoking in a winter wonderland
We're gonna keep smoking, in a winter, wonderland.

Coming from a smoker, this is so true. Time to quit I guess. Hummer.

We had a friend visiting from Down Under, here in Victoria last summer. When we asked him how he liked the city he responded that he thought it was beautiful, but he couldn't get over the number of hookers hanging around on the corners and in broad daylight too. We had to explain to him that they weren't hookers, they were government office workers out on their smoke break.

So you call them "novelty" songs. Well, if you put @parody in the dt search box, you'll get tons of parodies, or novelty songs, as you call them. Have fun, Margo

wildlone, I do too. I might have some that you would like, but I've never got around to cataloging my collection and sometimes I forget just what I do have.

Thanks for the Parody. I found the one you're looking for last year and here 'tis:

WALKIN' ROUND IN WOMEN'S UNDERWEAR
by Bob Rivers
sung to "Walkin' in a winter wonderland"

Lacy things -- the wife is missin',
Didn't ask -- her permission,
I'm wearin' her clothes,
Her silk pantyhose,
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear.

In the store -- there's a teddy,
Little straps -- like spaghetti,
It holds me so tight,
Like handcuffs at night,
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear.

In the office, there's a guy named Melvin,
He pretends that I am Murphy Brown.
He'll say, "Are you ready?" I'll say, "Whoa, Man!"
"Let's wait until our wives are out of town!"

Later on, if you wanna,
We can dress -- like Madonna,
Put on some eyeshade,
And join the parade,
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear!

Lacy things...wife is missin',
Didn't ask... permission,
Wearin' her clothes,
Her silk pantyhose,
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear,
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear,
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear!
