A Better Plan
by Rob Wynne
Music: “Let It Go” by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez (from Disney’s “Frozen”)
The weather outside is frightful tonight
But this fire is very nice
And there’s no place I need to be
out in the frozen ice
The wind is blowing and
The snow piles up in drifts
So let’s just stay here, wrap our Christmas gifts
We can’t go out, let’s just stay in
There’s no need to brave the howling din
Stay warm, no storm can harm us here
The answer’s clear
Let it snow, let it snow
It shows no sign of stopping
Let it snow, let it snow
I brought some corn for popping
There’s nowhere
That we need to be
Turn the lights down low
Curl up on the sofa here next to me
Every so often, an idea for a parody shows up that won’t go away, but there really isn’t enough there to justify parodying the entire song. These are called “show stoppers” because they typically only run up to the point that you hit the punchline of the joke, and then end.
Larissa and I finally got around to seeing Disney’s “Frozen” (which is excellent, and you should watch it), and this came into my mind and wouldn’t go away, so i finally sat down and wrote it. It’s finished; there’s only the one verse and chorus.
