There's no coping like snow coping, like no coping, I know
Everywhere you look the walls look taller
Higher than inspectors would allow.
Makes you glad to be a waller,
When your work's decked in white boughs.

There's no walling, like snow walling, when snow's falling...
The tarps flap in your (r)ears...
Yesterday they told you walling is-a-joke
Struggling all the time to not-go-broke,
But then you prove to them that you-can-cope
And wall on thru the snow


There's no walling, when snow's falling
Like dry walling, in stone
We can work in any season
Stacking rocks, as long as it's done right.
Smiling as you watch your fingers freezing,
And at 4 oclock you'll need lights!

Of all people, stone wall people
Can smile when they are low
Even with a turkey that you know wont pay
and-your-kneeling-there-on-icy-ground all day
Still you wouldn't want it any other way ?
Its fun, though it's in tents
Wall on ! 'til winter relents!
