Woke up on a frozen morn |
Heave away, haul away |
Radio said there's been a storm |
I'm bound for work this morning. |
Chorus: |
Heave away you frozen thing, |
Heave away, haul away |
All the way you'll hear me sing, |
I'm bound for work this morning. |
Tried to open up the door |
Heave away, haul away |
Snow's piled up 5 feet or more |
I'm bound for work this morning. |
Got a shov'ling job ahead |
Heave away, haul away |
Except the shovel's in the shed |
I'm bound for work this morning. |
Chorus |
Shove the door and make a gap |
Heave away, haul away |
One step out, I'm on my back |
I'm bound for work this morning. |
It's down my collar, up my nose |
Heave away, haul away |
Down my boots, between my toes |
I'm bound for work this morning. |
Chorus |
Struggle through the drifts and piles |
Heave away, haul away |
The shed seems like it's 20 miles |
I'm bound for work this morning. |
Reach the shed and realise |
Heave away, haul away |
I've left the bloody keys inside |
I'm bound for work this morning. |
Chorus |
It's to the house, back to the shed |
Heave away, haul away |
I think this snow is made of lead |
I'm bound for work this morning. |
It's time to shovel out the cars |
Heave away, haul away |
If we can find out where they are |
I'm bound for work this morning. |
2nd Chorus: |
Heave away the ice and snow |
Heave away haul away |
Cursing swearing as y'go |
I'm bound for work this morning |
The drive is done the car is clear |
Heave away, haul away |
What's that rumbling noise I hear? |
I'm bound for work this morning. |
I look up at the dreadful sound |
Heave away, haul away |
The city plow is bearing down! |
I'm bound for work this morning. |
2nd Chorus |
The city plow goes thundering by |
Heave away, haul away |
Leaving snow banks ten feet high |
I'm bound for work this morning. |
The car is buried, there's no way |
Heave away, haul away |
I'll make in to work today |
I'm bound for work this morning. |
2nd Chorus |
I'll hitch the dog up to the sled! |
Heave away, haul away |
It's time this dachsund earned his bread |
I'm bound for work this morning. |
The car is lost, the dog has fled |
Heave away, haul away |
It's time I headed back to bed |
I'm bound for work this morning. |
2nd Chorus and Chorus |
