tom chapin – shoveling lyrics

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 his 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 shoveling. he took his coat off
shoveling, just me and my dad
we’re shoveling, shoveling, shoveling all night long
we’re shoveling, shoveling, shoveling all night long

i said, “hey daddy, daddy, daddy+o
let’s build a snowman in the snow.”
he said, “no, we’re shoveling
now get to work!”
shoveling, shoveling, shoveling all night long

i said, “hey daddy, daddy, daddy+o
let’s build an igloo in the snow.”
he said, “no, we’re shoveling
are you helping me or what?”
shoveling, shoveling, shoveling all night long
i said, “hey daddy, daddy, daddy+o
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, no… hey!
i’m shoveling, dad, i’m helping, i am!”
shoveling, shoveling, shoveling all night long

when we finished, it sure looked good
we had the cleanest driveway in the neighborhood
i came inside and went straight to sleep
woke up next morning…
the snow was four feet deep, and we’re shoveling
i heard on the radio, school’s closed, too bad!
shoveling, shoveling, shoveling all night
shoveling, shoveling, shoveling all day
shoveling, shoveling, shoveling all night long
