Verse 1: We're going to Grandma's
The road is full of snow
Going over drifts
Singing in the car ha-ha
Talking about Santa
Wondering where he is

by Christmas Day, we know he's on his way
Giving gifts to other children
We hope we get good gifts too!

We hope you make it here soon
We will go to bed and when we wake up
We hope to see gifts not coal!

Giving gifts to other children
We hope we get good gifts too!

The snow is really nice
my pants are full of ice
Having snowball fights
getting frostbite
opening presents
it could be a bomb
Its no fun to be blown up and lose your trachea

(chorus) Hockey rules
Its the bomb
falling through the ice
Its better than dying
than to have your pants full of mice

Verse2: snowboarding is cool
so is jumping in a pool
but that is really bad
think what could happen!
Hypothermia
could kick in right then
but then you might have to have amputation

(chorus2):Snowboarding
it is cool
I fell of a cliff
good thing I brought my parachute
otherwise I would be dead

Verse3:My dogs really nice
but she is annoying
she has some fleas
and she gets them on me
and when I have to pee
she will follow me
but what annoys me most
is when she keeps watching me

(chorus):My dog smells
she gives me chills
she has accidents
I'd better go because she just
made my right leg really wet

Jeffrey, 12, Ortonville, MN

verse 1: As the winter nears,
The Trojan season starts,
Charging with no fears,
and playing full of heart,
The bus rolls into town,
The other team did frown,
for the Trojan squad will prove the other team a fraud.

Refrain: Swishing 3's,
Playing D
Hustling all the way,
oh how cool it is to watch the way the Trojans play.

verse 2:Dribble, Pass, and Score,
Working the whole floor,
As the final buzzer rings,
The Trojan Faithfuls sing,
We're victorious once more because of the final score

Refrain: Swishing 3's
Playing D
Hustling all the way,
oh how cool it is to watch the way the Trojans play.

Evan, 12, Odessa, MN


verse#1 One part that we all love
About this time of year
Is snowmen in the snow
Expressing Christmas cheer
The kids are all outside
Making more of them
Soon there'll be an army of great big hungry snowmen!!
*refrain* big snowmen, big snowmen, standing in my yard
with snow for brains
and sticks for arms
and a carrot for a nose

verse#2 The snowmen in my yard, staring straight ahead,
They all look so evil
I think they will attack!!
Walking on the sidewalk, my eyes are on the ground,
I look up to find that there are snowmen all around!!
*Refrain* Big snowmen, big snowmen, standing in my yard
with snow for brains
and sticks for arms
and a carrot for a nose!!

Mackenzie, 12, Ortonville, MN
