In Boston we folks can't handle the snows
So to MEMA the good governor he goes
Take care! Take shelter! Do you know why?
Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!

MEMA is a great and fine acronym
For well-paid would-be heroes, for her and for him
Who work to worry us; do you know why?
Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!

Across the great state of Massachusetts
We have public transit, but no one can use it
Nobody goes anywhere; do you know why?
Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!

In Canada this could be just a dusting
But here the cops the drivers they're busting
Parking tickets, moving tickets; do you know why?
Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!

Smart people know what a threat the snow is
They get a big scarf to cover their noses
They cover and cower; do you know why?
Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!

It's not like we've never known snow before
In days of yore and heard the folklore
But nowadays it's different, do you know why?
Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!

Every good citizen responsibly knows
It's all very scary whenever it snows
We've a state of emergency; do you know why?
Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!
