That's it for this year
We say each time there's late snow
Hoping it's the last.

It started up in Windows when I clicked the spot
Da doo Run Run Run
Da doo Run Run
I couldn't see the cursor in the typing box
Da doo run run run
Da doo run run
Ooh, it looked so jive
In Windows ninety-five
Now that eleven's here
Doodad wrong wrong wrong
Doodad wrong wrong
Da doo run run by the Crystals
Little red robin
Worms his way north each summer
As the early bird.

I know who's going with me,
I know who I love,
And the devil knows who I'll marry.

"Let's keep our land glorious and free."
Why do I sing Let's instead of God?
It's not because lots of us don't believe in gods.
It's not because many of us believe in different gods.
It's because none of us should expect any god to do something that we ought to be doing ourselves.
So, let's keep our land glorious and free.
