Drunky the Snowman (redux)
Drunky the Snowman
BoingBoing had a posting about an article in Smithsonian Magazine about Snowmen in popular cultureSnowmen
In the past, snowmen were portrayed as quite the drinkers, so I've adapted the classic song to that image. Some parts you can't sing to the original tune, just say them in your best drunken friend voice. Enjoy!
Drunky the Snowman
Was a jolly happy soul
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
Bleary eyes made out of coal.
Drunky the Snowman
Is a fairytale they say
He was made of snow
But the children know
How he came to life one day
There must have been some magic
In that bottle of Gin they found
For when they placed it in his hand
He began to drink it down
Drunky the Snowman
Was alive as he could be
And the children say
He could weave and sway
Just the same as you and me
Drunky the Snowman
Thought the sun was hot that day
So he said let's run
And we'll drink some Rum
Now before I melt away
Down to the liquor store
With a six pack in his hand
Running here and there all around the square
Saying “You’ll never take me alive, coppers!”
He led them down the streets of town
Right to the traffic cop
And he didn’t pause a moment when
He heard him holler stop
Drunky the Snowman
Had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye
Saying “I love you guys, I reealy love you guys. I’m not just sayin’ that. You guys are the best. We should get together and do this more often. Don’t tell me when I’ve had enough, I’ll tell you when I’ve had enough. Is it hot in here? I gotta go lay down somewhere. Can I crash on your couch, or your front lawn? I love you guys.”
“And I’ll be back again someday,
probably next weekend!”
Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Look at Drunky go
Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Over the hills of snow
