Cold Out Dere, Aye?

by Bud Lemire on Feb 11, 2008


It’s freezing cold out dere, aye?
But ain’t it the Yooper way
Below zero temperatures making it cold
It’s especially hard on the old

Bundle up when you go into the storm
Wear your long underwear to keep you warm
Protect each part of you from the chill
Or surely it will make you ill

Put a chook on to keep all the warmth in
And a scarf wound tightly around by your chin
Warm boots should be worn on your feet
To keep in all of your body heat

It’s freezing cold out dere, aye?
I see your breath with everything you say
And your nose is so very red
It must be cold there upon your head

If you’re a Yooper, then you know
To dress up warm wherever you go
It’s the right thing for you to do
To keep you warm all the way through
