Snowtime Lyrics

CAPO III
O -le -a - na, via Del Norte, O Canada
M7
It was snowtime, it was showtime, it was no time
To be lost in downtown Toronto
It was wintertime, 'round dinnertime
I'm beginning to see that the sunshine just doesn't want to
From a side street come a backbeat
M7
Pulling on me like the moon pullin' on the tide
Ay caramba, one-note samba, la la la la bamba
Lighting me up inside
M7
They had the heat of the sun in the beat of the talking drum
M7
The light of a tropical moon on a night to remember
M7
Someone summoned up summer just strumming on an old guitar
M7
And every note was the antidote to December
M7
My first impression, some kind of procession
Pulling on a long line of fancy dancers
And a band stuck up on a flatbed truck
They were raising a ruckus swinging for the fences
Exiled Mexican textile working
M7
Punching two clocks, sending two paychecks home, boys
Hard working law 'biding bus riding people
Celebration on wheels destination unknown
M7
It was the heat of the sun in the beat of that talking drum
M7
The light of a tropical moon on a night to remember
M7
Someone summoned up summer just strumming on an old guitar
M7
Yes, and every note was the antidote to December

Ri-o Grande
O-le-a-na
Vi-a Del Norte
Oh Canada
M7
There was a lifeline south in the song coming from her mouth
M7
It swallowed me up and I followed it on downtown
M7
In the light of dawn the message that life goes on
M7
For the frozen man an invitation to live again
M7
It was the heat of the sun in the beat of that talking drum
M7
The light of a tropical moon on a night to remember
M7
Someone summoned up summer just strumming on an old guitar
M7
And every note, the antidote to December
M7
They were shakin' it loose with the juice from the mambo man
M7
Long lanky Yankee boy, Buckwheat and Spanky, my-my
