"It's springtime in New Hampshire
When the gentle breezes blow
About seventy miles an hour or so
And it's fifty-two below
It's springtime in New Hampshire
And the snow's up to my butt
I take a breath of springtime air
And my noseholes both freeze shut
It's springtime in New Hampshire
So I guess I'll stick around
I could never leave New Hampshire
My feet are frozen to the ground"
