Up On Your Rooftop

(tune: Up on the Rooftop)

Up on your rooftop snowflakes fall
Piles up maybe two feet tall
Down it comes all day and night
All the weight overhead
Homeowners fright

Chorus
   Ho, ho, ho
   Who shouldn’t go
   Ho, ho, ho
   Who shouldn’t go
   Up on the rooftop
   Think, think, think
   Don’t slip off shingles like
   A skating rink

First comes the frostbite
In the wind
Oh, hot cocoa
Blood has thinned
Chilled to the bone
You start to shake
Muscles then rebel
And back to ache

Chorus
   Ho, ho, ho
   Who shouldn’t go
   Ho, ho, ho
   Who shouldn’t go
   Up on the rooftop
   Think, think, think
   Don’t slip off shingles like
   A skating rink

Next comes dizziness
In your head
Oh, uneven slope
Beneath your tread
Balance is challenged
As slowly you creep
It’s just one misstep
And down in a heap.

Chorus
   Ho, ho, ho
   Who shouldn’t go
   Ho, ho, ho
   Who shouldn’t go
   Up on the rooftop
   Think, think, think
   Don’t slip off shingles like
   A skating rink
