A Day at Home What would I give for a quiet day at home? What would I give for a day I could call my own? A day of simple solitude and rest, Without students, or noise, or a test.

What would I give for a day of my very own. A day all alone at home?

What would I give for a day away from school What would I give for a day away from school? What would I give for a day without any rules? A day of catching soaps on the T. V. Watching movies, a day just for me.

What would I give for a day of my very own, A day all alone, a day of my own, A day of my very own at home. There’s no place like home.

Seven Feet of Snow! Sitting there, looking out the window, Dark clouds are gath’ring overhead. Hoping school will let out early; That’s what the weatherman said.

We’re waiting for one, two, three, four, five, six, seven feet of snow We’re waiting for one, two, three, four, five, six, seven feet of snow. We’re hoping for one, two, three, four,

We’re praying for one, two, three, four, five, six, seven feet of snow.

‘Cause when it snows, we’re all aglow, can’t wait to go outside and throw a bunch of snow.

What’s that I see outside the window. Window What’s that I see outside the window? Window? Big snowy flakes, frosty white. Frosty white.

Don’t think we’ll have school tomorrow. Tomorrow Don’t think we’ll have school tomorrow. Tomorrow. It’s supposed to snow all night!

We’re waiting for one, two, three, four, five, six, seven feet of snow We’re waiting for one, two, three, four, five, six, seven feet of snow. We’re hoping for one, two, three, four,

We’re praying for one, two, three, four, five, six, seven feet of snow.

‘Cause when it snows, we always know we’ll need a tow out of the snow (a lot of dough!).

When it blows it’s quite a show, yes, even though it’s ten below.

We’re aglow, can’t wait to go outside and throw a bunch of snow We’re aglow, can’t wait to go outside and throw a bunch of snow. Seven feet of snow, Yo!
