Winter Blues
* * *
The fog is frosty around the gluvine stall,
it is dark and cold outside
Folks go shopping at the mall,
the shops are bright with light.
There are sales and presents and lovely things
like plastic toys or diamond rings.
Nobody needs them, that is true
But it's fun to look and helps to kill that winter blues.
Chase that winter blues away
The winter solstice night is long,
there are parties every day.
That is good for socializing,
to laugh and dance the chill away.
The people are nice and eat delicious things
and enjoy a lot of pretty colorful drinks,
wearing fancy clothes and trendy shoes
so they can forget and overcome that winter blues
Chase that winter blues away
In the streets big flakes whirl in the storm,
They're empty, hostile, feel forlorn.
But the pub's alive with cheerful songs
folks can listen to or sing along.
The drinks are hot, the mood all right,
that place is good for a winter night.
There's friends, and games, a quiz, and booze
to warm you up and to defeat that winter blues.
Chase that winter blues away
