lyrics

'Snow Angels and Drink Monkeys'

Intro: My friend chose to live up north.
Where the snow and an icy wind blows.
Takes an extreme to the excess,
He’s got a lot to give.

Ooh, ooh, Snow Angels in the street.
Ooh, ooh, Drink Monkeys out of their tree.

Well there’s one too many cats.
And still room for tattoos on his back.
An Ice Hockey game on the radio,
What he sees in it I’ll never know.
We could drop pancakes on the hot sidewalk.
Or early to bed at 10am.
Someone’ll lights another cigarette,
‘And begin’ again…

Ooh, ooh, Snow Angels in the street.
Ooh, ooh, Drink Monkeys out of their tree.

(solo)

For me you’ve flown halfway around the world.
Made me laugh till we start to cry.
The best Dad a child I know’s ever had,
And she knows that…

The early New York bus pulls in.
And Bloody Caesar rules again.
Got more of anything, but nothing at all.
No nothing at all.

Ooh, ooh, Snow Angels in the street.
Ooh, ooh, Drink Monkeys out of their tree.
Ooh, ooh, And Mr. Cat’s still fast asleep.
Ooh, ooh, Hey baby, don’t grow up to quick on me.
