Lyrics

Ski Patrol

Here comes the ski patrol It comes but once a year On down the mountain side They'll make sure that we're alright Make sure that we're alright Sure that we're alright Sure that we're alright, alright Alright, alright, alright When the heavy snow fall comes It spins on down the hills And still the sun shines bright On down and down the hill On down, and down, and down, and down Down, and down, and down Down, down, and down, and down Where the tattered hills lie down Ooh, the snow is on the ground, and it drifts on everyone Makes everybody so glad, makes everybody so glad And the candidates who ran with a long black rabble band Playing now from town to town where the ski patrols are found Well, that old patrol moves on And along the mountain trails Where the trails are watching out For those ones who need a helping hand Oh, make sure we're all right Oh, make sure we're all right
