The snow is snowing and the wind is blowing But I can weather the storm! What do I care how much it may storm? For I've got my love to keep me warm I can't remember a worse December Just watch those icicles form! Oh, what do I care if icicles form? Oh, I've got my love to keep me warm Off with my overcoat, off with my glove I need no overcoat, I'm burning with love! My heart's on fire, the flame grows higher So I will weather the storm! What do I care how much it may storm? Oh, I've got my love to keep me warm The snow is snowing, the wind is blowing But I can weather the storm! What do I care how much it may storm? Oh, I've got my love to keep me warm I can't remember a worse December Just watch those icicles form! What do I care if icicles form? Oh-ho-ho, I've got my love to keep me warm Off with my overcoat, off with my glove I need no overcoat, I'm burning with love! My heart's on fire, the flame grows higher So I will weather the storm! What do I care how much it may storm? Oh, I've got my love to keep me warm
