The snow, it is a’ flyin’.
Of that, there’s no denyin’.
While lazy lizard’s lyin’
On the couch.


As I hurry and I scurry,
Storm’s startin’ with some flurries.
But him, he has no worries.
What a slouch!


It’s gonna take a potion
And clamorous commotion
To git this man in motion.
Lazy loafa’!


With courage that I muster,
I flaunt the feather duster
And bluster, “Listen, buster!
Off the sofa!


“C’mon ya lazy llama!
Ya ain’t Barak Obama.
Git out of yer pajama.
Clean this hovel.”


There sits the couch potato
Eatin’ bacon and tomato.
“Snow’s comin’ from Mankato!
Git the shovel.”


“Quit naggin’ me,” he mumbles.
“Git off the couch,” I grumble.
“I’m stayin’ put,” he rumbles.
“On the couch.”


The couch is in a jumble;
About him, cookies crumble.
His sandwich takes a tumble
Off the couch.


“Quit fillin’ up yer gizzard;
There’s comin’ up a blizzard.
Git off the lounge, ya lizard!”
(I’m a grouch.)


In the middle of a blizzard,
It’s gonna take a wizard
To get this lazy lizard
Off the couch.


“It’s snowin’ up a twister,
So git ya movin’, Mister.
Start workin’ up some blisters.
Git the sled.”


His conscience’s unencumbered—
“A blizzard’s when I slumber!”
He then proceeds to lumber
Off to bed.
