Liner Notes

I needed something happy and upbeat today, so I reached for my ukulele. This one was inspired by pictures my snowbirding bandmates have been sending me lately, and the pile of snow out my window. I used two tempos, and steel drums on my synth, which were new skills to figure out.

Lyrics

Hey baby it’s sure cold outside
The snows piled up a mile high
The lakes all froze
We’ve been stuck inside for days
I’m tired of sitting in this chair,
In three long pairs of underwear,
We’re not retired, but babe I think it’s time.

To be snowbirds, let’s be snowbirds
Jet setting, house forgetting, go-birds
Let’s fly south until we find the sun
Live in a cabana on the beach
We’ll spend all day working on our tans
It sounds like the perfect plan to me!

To be snowbirds, let’s be snowbirds,
Carefree, go-with-the-flow birds
We’ll play pickleball, build castles in the sand,
In the mornings we can do tai chi.
Toast new friends at happy hour,
Nap time under palm trees by the sea!

When we’re snowbirds, let’s be snowbirds,
C’mon babe, don’t say no, bird,
(Interlude)

Hey baby, wouldn’t it be nice
To slip away from all this ice
Let’s drive off into the sun
And leave it all behind

And be snow birds, let’s be snowbirds,
Fun loving, pack-it-up-and-go birds,
We’ll be snowbirds, let’s be snowbirds,
Grab your bags, the kids don’t have to know birds.
Snowbirds, let’s be snowbirds
Heading south, time-to-go birds
Snowbirds, let’s be snowbirds,
Raise the anchor, yo-ho-ho birds,
Snowbirds, let’s be snowbirds,
Snowbirds, let’s be snowbirds.
