Content  –  It's snowing. Will the school be closed?  As snowflakes drift down, children are always eager for a 'snow day' - everyone wishes for their school to be closed so they can get out and build a snowman, or have a snowball fight!  Full of fun, and very popular with junior age children.  There is a simple modulation - between the verse and chorus and back again - which is very easy to follow.

Lyrics Sample

Dark’ning clouds above the town,

Snowflakes drifting gently down,

Pavements turn from grey to white:

Will the school be closed?

Waiting for the news to come,

Asking Dad and asking Mum,

‘Can we stay at home today?

Will the school be closed?’

We want a snow day! We want a snowball rumble!

It’s no day to stay indoors and grumble.

Don’t care if we should fall or stumble.

Please, please, please, please – close the school!

Slipping, sliding everywhere.

Freezing cold but we don't care...
