Snow can wait, I forgot my mittens  
Wipe my nose, get my new boots on  
I get a little warm in my heart when I think of winter  
I put my hand in my father’s glove

Put your hand in the hand of the man who stilled the water  
Put your hand in the hand of the man who calmed the sea  
Take a look at yourself, and you can look at others diff’rently  
Put your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee

Take your baby by the hand  
And make her do a high handstand  
And take your baby by the heel  
And do the next thing that you feel

Baby, take off your coat…(real slow)  
Baby, take off your shoes…(here, I’ll take your shoes)  
Baby, take off your dress  
Yes, yes, yes  
You can leave your hat on

All your life  
You’ve never seen  
A woman taken by the wind.  
Would you love her forever?

If she promised you heaven?  
If she promised you heaven?

And I seem to find the happiness I seek  
When we’re out together, dancing cheek to cheek

Every day  
If you keep on talking baby  
You know you’re bound to drive me away

Well on the way, head in a cloud  
The man of a thousand voices talking perfectly loud.  
But nobody ever hears him or the sound he appears to make  
And he never seems to notice.

It’s a dirty story of a dirty man  
And his clinging wife doesn’t understand

It’s a steady job  
But he wants to be a paperback writer

Time to rock the road and tell the story of the jelly rollin’  
Dirty boots are on, hi di ho  
Pinking out the black, dreaming in a crack  
Satan got her tongue, now it’s undone

I got some dirty boots, yeah dirty boots  
I got some dirty boots, baby  
Dirty boots
