 The snow is low
And starting to slow; The temperature’s rising so flowers will grow. March forth! March forth! Old winter is heading back north! My face is pale, And my muscles are frail; Been biding in hiding – a somnolent snail. March forth! March forth! Old winter is heading back north! Rise up from bed; Put awake in your head; The birds are a’singing; the cardinals are red. March forth! March forth! Old winter is heading back north! Let’s play today And shout a hooray, A spring in your step as you whistle away. March forth! March forth! Old winter is heading back north! The skies are fair; There’s hope in the air; We’ll tackle our troubles with nary a care. March forth! March forth! Old winter is heading back north!
