A song for when it's cold outside
I think I'm gonna head south
maybe stop when I run out of road
pack up my duds and set sail for the sun
get into a beachcombing mode
Yeah, I think I'm gonna head south
make my livin' in the wind and the water
instead of always doin' what's expected of me
doin' what I want is what I oughta
(chorus 1)
'cause I'd much rather sweat than shiver
I'd rather see palm trees than pines
I'd rather put my skis down on water than on snow
and I'd rather walk on sand than on ice
I think I'm gonna head south
say good bye to winter and this cold
maybe I'll come back and visit
some time next yer if I'm not too old
(chorus 1)
'cause I'd much rather sweat than shiver
I'd rather see palm trees than pines
I'd rather put my skis down on water than on snow
and I'd rather walk on sand than on ice
(chorus 2)
I'd rather be warm all year 'round
I'd rather own sandals than boots
I'd rather wear a skimpy piece of nylon
than wear long johns and socks under a suit
than wear long johns and socks under a suit
'cause I hate long johns and socks and I hate suits!
