VERSE 1:

Freezin, Freezin, Freezin All through winter season I am always freezing Rawhiiiiiiide…

Through Ice and snow and weather STUCK to the leather Wishing a stove was by my side

I’m anticipating The warmth that will be waiting Waiting at the end of my slide…

((( fast chorus about the kids )))

Wrap-um-up, Send-um-out, Bring-um-in, Thaw-um-out, Wrap-um-up, Send-um-out, - Rawhide

Bring-um-in, Thaw-um-out, Wrap-um-up, Send-um-out, Bring-um-in, Thaw-um-out, - Rawhiiiiiiide

VERSE 2:

Buying, buying, buying Gloves and boots they’re trying Stop those children crying Rawhiiiiiiide…

Feed and clothe and brand em Shopping at random Thru Wal-Mart and Macy’s far and wide

I’m anticipating The warmth that will be waiting Waiting at the end of my slide…

((( fast chorus about the kids )))

Wrap-um-up, Send-um-out, Bring-um-in, Thaw-um-out, Wrap-um-up, Send-um-out, - Rawhide

Bring-um-in, Thaw-um-out, Wrap-um-up, Send-um-out, Bring-um-in, Thaw-um-out, - Rawhiiiiiiide

VERSE 3:

Sliding, sliding, sliding On the road we’re gliding In the car we’re riding Rawhiiiiiiide…

Left and right at random Many cars in tandem On roads and driveways far and wide

I’m anticipating The warmth that will be waiting Waiting at the end of my slide…

((( fast chorus about the kids )))

Wrap-um-up, Send-um-out, Bring-um-in, Thaw-um-out, Wrap-um-up, Send-um-out, — Rawhide Bring-um-in, Thaw-um-out, Wrap-um-up, Send-um-out, Bring-um-in, Thaw-um-out, — Rawhiiiiiiide
