"Snowpeople" lyrics - THE OKEE DOKEE BROTHERS

THE OKEE DOKEE BROTHERS
"Snowpeople"
(Justin Lansing / Joe Mailander)

Snowmen get a scarf and a carrot for a nose
Black hat, black pipe, black boots I suppose
Snowladies get a necklace, and a skirt 'round their hips
Red bow, red cheeks, red licorice lips

But why do we roll up circles
Just to put them inside a square
Showin' them who they should be
By tellin' them what they can wear

This one here's tellin me what fits them best
And it's an evergreen tie with a white birch bark dress
A lavender hat and an orange peel smile
'Cause snowpeople find their own natural style

So why do we roll up circles
Just to put them inside a square
"Snowmen" and "Snowladies"
Are words they don't have to wear

Why do boys get a blue blanket in their crib
Blue cap, blue boots, and a baby blue bib
Why do girls get a pink ballerina skirt
Pink bow, pink shoes, pink polka dot shirt

And why do we roll up circles
Just to put them inside a square
Maybe "boys" and "girls"
Are words we don't have to wear
