Winter Roundup

Intro

*(strummin' guitar, slow and twangy)*

Out here on the frosty range, under the snow-white sky...

Yee-haw, gather 'round, critters big and small,

Winter's callin', let's sing us a song 'bout one and all.

Verse

Well, I saddled up my old horse, hooves crunchin' through the white,

He's snortin' steam like a locomotive, chasin' winter's light.

Over yonder, wolves are howlin' at the moon so pale and bright,

Pack's dancin' in the drifts, yip-yip-yowlin' all night.

Seagulls circlin' high, divin' for a frozen snack,

Wings flappin' fierce, squawk-squawkin' "come on back!"

Turtles tucked in their shells, slow as molasses in the cold,

Dreamin' of sunny days, but lovin' winter's hold.

Chorus

Oh, winter roundup, hoo-hoo, gather 'round the firelight,

Polar bears tumblin', fish dartin' outta sight.

Penguins slidin' whoosh-whoosh down the icy slide,

Killer whales breachin' high, yeah, takin' that wild ride!

Ice cubes clinkin', iceboxes full o' cheer,

Eagles soarin' proud, cows moo-in' loud and clear.

Yee-haw, winter's here, (winter's here), sing it loud and true,

All God's critters dancin' in the snow with me and you!

Verse

Polar bear mama with her cubs, wrestlin' in the powdery fluff,

Pawin' at the ice, grrr-growlin' "ain't this enough?"

Fish swimmin' swift beneath the glassy frozen streams,

Flashin' silver scales, livin' winter dreams.

Penguins waddlin' in a line, flip-flop-flappin' on the frost,

Tuxedo suits so dapper, never gettin' lost.

Killer whales in the arctic sea, spy-hoppin' through the floes,

Black and white torpedoes, puttin' on a show!

Chorus

Oh, winter roundup, hoo-hoo, gather 'round the firelight,

Polar bears tumblin', fish dartin' outta sight.

Penguins slidin' whoosh-whoosh down the icy slide,

Killer whales breachin' high, yeah, takin' that wild ride!

Ice cubes clinkin', iceboxes full o' cheer,

Eagles soarin' proud, cows moo-in' loud and clear.

Yee-haw, winter's here, (winter's here), sing it loud and true,

All God's critters dancin' in the snow with me and you!

Verse

Eagles ridin' thermals, screechin' over treetops white,

Eyes sharp as my spurs, ownin' the winter flight.

Cows huddled in the barn, chewin' hay by lantern glow,

Moo-moo callin' soft, warmin' up real slow.

Ice cubes floatin' lazy in the stock tank freeze,

Iceboxes packed with vittles, bringin' folks to their knees.

My horse stamps his feet, wolves join the evening call,

Seagulls wheel above, turtlin' through it all.

Bridge

*(slower strum, heartfelt pickin')*

From the deepest sea to the highest peak so grand,

Winter binds us tight, paw to hoof to fin and hand.

No blizzard too fierce, no chill too deep to bear,

We're all in this hoedown, breathin' that crisp, clean air...

*(buildin' up)* Yee-haw!

Chorus

Oh, winter roundup, hoo-hoo, gat
