lyrics
My hands are cold and my toes are too
On top of that, my balls are turning blue
My nose is running and my teeth are chattering
This frozen look just ain't flattering
Winter sucks, winter sucks, oh boy, does winter suck
Worse than when that kangaroo tried to kick my butt
I hate the cold, I hate the cold, I hate the cold so much
Limping like a kangaroo who needs a goddamn crutch
Wind is whipping and the snow is starting to stick
Might be time to give that flagpole a lick
Holidays are joyful. New Year's is a ball
But watch out for that freakin' ice, you're bound to take a fall
Winter sucks, winter sucks, oh boy, does winter suck
Worse than when that kangaroo tried to kick my butt
I hate the cold, I hate the cold, I hate the cold so much
Limping like a kangaroo who needs a goddamn crutch
I'd rather go boxing with a rabid kangaroo
Than freeze my ass off walking the dog and picking up frozen poo
I'd rather hug a leper mime in my birthday suit
Or push the big red button and watch the world go boom!
Winter sucks, winter sucks, oh boy, does winter suck
Worse than when that kangaroo tried to kick my butt
I hate the cold, I hate the cold, I hate the cold so much
Limping like a kangaroo who needs a goddamn crutch
