It went and gone and did it

   

They said it would and it did

The snow came down to make us skid

Across the roads and down the lanes

It stopped the traffic and the trains

 

It stopped the airports and the stations

An inch of snow has stopped the nation

That’s all it takes to make us stop
No work today no way to shop

 

The powers that be had one whole day

To keep the white stuff at bay

To grit the roads and grit the rails

But all we hear are sad sad tales

 

Of people trapped in deep snow drifts

And cars trapped in deep snow rifts

Of black ice here and black ice there

To catch the traveller if they dare
 

To venture out into the weather

And not fall down, we cling together

And fight our way through wind and flakes

And try not to make mistakes

 

That sends us tumbling to the ground

Or motors that spin round and round

To try to get to where we’re going
Through all the white stuff that is blowing

 

It happens every year you see

That bit of weather fit for skies

They know it’s coming but do nothing

And just because it’s bloody snowing
