Garrison Keillor <1988
Cast of Prairie Home Companion
Now is the start of winter, when animals get thinner
Fa la la la la la la la la, fa la la la la la la
The fat ones and the flabby get awfully thin and crabby
Fa la la la la la la la la, fa la la la la la la
They burn up calories against the winter breeze
Fa la la la la la la la la, fa la la la la la la
And so I recommend we have some lunch my friend
Fa la la la la la la la la, fa la la la la la la
When storm storms are forecast-a, got to use some pasta
The cold winds should persuade us to eat some mashed potatoes
And meat and gravy too so we will not turn blue
Remember until March, to make the servings large
Sugar is essential to keep away the windchill
Before we take a walk, let us sit and eat some chocolate
Let’s eat another course, it’s awful cold outdoors
It’s colder than a witch, why not go in the fridge
