about

When I knew my Dad was going to be pissed about my grades, I would try to put off bringing my report card home as long as I could. There were a couple of lucky breaks over the years where there were snow days that made my delays more plausible. One time, I managed to put off bringing my report card home for more than a week.

When I finally did bring it home, I was grounded.

Oh, and: I was working on this as March became April. On April 1 - it snowed. No foolin'.

lyrics

Snow! Snow!
Snow day is here! Now!
And we're not gonna waste it
Stuck inside

My gamble paid off
I left my report card in my locker
And told my Dad that I forgot it
But I didn't

Pretty sure he knows I'm
Lying through my teeth, but
What's he gonna do?
What's he gonna do - 'cause he knows
He's gotta go to work while I'm home alone in the...

Snow! Snow!
Snow day is here! Now!
And we're not gonna waste it
Doing homework inside

I keep looking outside
Looking for those tell-tale flakes in the streetlights
Nothing yet
This could still go so horribly wrong

Got to get up early
Listen to the radio
Pretty pretty please, don't you say "two hours late" again
The DJ just said there's no school today because of snow!

Today's the day that we've been waiting for
It only comes just once a year
I'll leave my sister in a snow drift
They won't find her 'til the thaw
