Shoveling

One day it snowed, snowed real hard
Up against the fence in my backyard
It didn't let up until the dark of night
And when my dad got home the whole world was white

He grabbed a shovel, hiked to the road
Began to dig that driveway, clear that snow
I jumped in my snowsuit, I ran out the door
I said 'Can I help?' My dad said, 'Sure!
grab a shovel', We're shovelling
He took his coat off
Shovelling, just me and my dad
We're shovelling shovelling
shovelling all night long.

I said 'Hey Daddy Daddy Daddy-oh
let's build a snowman in the snow'
He said 'No, we're shovelling,
now get to work!'
Shovelling shovelling shovelling
all night long.

I said 'Hey Daddy Daddy Daddy-oh
let's build an igloo in the snow'
He said 'No, we're shovelling,
are you helping me or what?'
Shovelling shovelling shovelling
all night long.

I said 'Hey Daddy Daddy Daddy-oh
let's make an angel in the snow'

Well he stopped and turned to me real slow he said
'Isn't it about your... bedtime?'
I said 'No no no no no no nooooo... No!
I'm helping, Dad, I'm shovelling,
I am!'
Shovelling shovelling shovelling
all night long.

When we finished it sure looked good
We had the cleanest driveway in the neighborhood
I came inside I went straight to sleep
Woke up next morning...
The snow was four feet deep and
we're shovelling
I heard on the radio
School's closed, too bad!
Shovelling shovelling shovelling
all night--

Shovelling shovelling shovelling
all day--

Shovelling shovelling shovelling
all night long

Shovel some more!

We-ell shovel some more!
Woo ooh hoo hoo
