Where is Mona, she's long gone? 00:00

Where is Mary, she's taken her along? 00:10

But they haven't put their mittens on 00:17

And there's fifteen feet of pure white snow? 00:21

00:27

Where is Michael, where is Mark? 00:44

Where is Mathew, now it's getting dark? 00:51

Oh, where is John, they are all out back? 00:58

Under fifteen feet of pure white snow 01:03

Would you please put down that telephone 01:07

We're under fifteen feet of pure white snow 01:11

01:18

I waved to my neighbour, my neighbour waved to me 01:23

But my neighbour is my enemy 01:30

I kept waving my arms 'til I could not see 01:37

Under fifteen feet of pure white snow 01:42

Is anybody out there please? 01:49

It's too quiet in here and I'm beginning to freeze 01:56

I've got icicles hanging from my knees 02:04

Under fifteen feet of pure white snow 02:08

Is there anybody here who feels this low? 02:13

Under fifteen feet of pure white snow 02:17

Raise your hands up to the sky 02:22

Raise your hands up to the sky 02:26

Raise your hands up to the sky 02:29

Is it any wonder? 02:33

Oh my Lord, oh my Lord 02:36

Oh my Lord, oh my Lord 02:44

02:52

Doctor, doctor, I'm going mad 03:11

This is the worst day I've ever had 03:18

I can't remember ever feeling this bad 03:26

Under fifteen feet of pure white snow 03:30

Where's my nurse, I need some healing? 03:38

I've been paralysed by this lack of feeling 03:44

I can't even find anything worth stealing 03:52

Under fifteen feet of pure white snow 03:56

Is there anyone else here who doesn't know? 04:01

We're under fifteen feet of pure white snow 04:05

Raise your hands up to the sky 04:10

Raise your hands up to the sky 04:14

Raise your hands up to the sky 04:18

Is it any wonder? 04:22

Oh my Lord, oh my Lord 04:25

Oh my Lord, oh my Lord 04:32

Save Yourself, save yourself 04:40

Help Yourself, save yourself 04:47

Save Yourself, save yourself 04:55

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Where is Mona, she's long gone?

Where is Mary, she's taken her along?

But they haven't put their mittens on

And there's fifteen feet of pure white snow?

...

Where is Michael, where is Mark?

Where is Mathew, now it's getting dark?

Oh, where is John, they are all out back?

Under fifteen feet of pure white snow

Would you please put down that telephone

We're under fifteen feet of pure white snow

...

I waved to my neighbour, my neighbour waved to me

But my neighbour is my enemy

I kept waving my arms 'til I could not see

Under fifteen feet of pure white snow

Is anybody out there please?

It's too quiet in here and I'm beginning to freeze

I've got icicles hanging from my knees

Under fifteen feet of pure white snow

Is there anybody here who feels this low?

Under fifteen feet of pure white snow

Raise your hands up to the sky

Is it any wonder?

Oh my Lord, oh my Lord

...

Doctor, doctor, I'm going mad

This is the worst day I've ever had

I can't remember ever feeling this bad

Under fifteen feet of pure white snow

Where's my nurse, I need some healing?

I've been paralysed by this lack of feeling

I can't even find anything worth stealing

Under fifteen feet of pure white snow

Is there anyone else here who doesn't know?

We're under fifteen feet of pure white snow

Raise your hands up to the sky

Is it any wonder?

Oh my Lord, oh my Lord

Save Yourself, save yourself

Help Yourself, save yourself

Save Yourself, save yourself

Help Yourself, help yourself

Save yourself, help yourself

Help yourself, yeah-yeah-yeah
