It was colder than a witches tit, colder than a Polar 
bear's nose,
Colder than the shoulder of my old flame, colder than 
hell ever knows,
Not quite as cold as you think it is when the wind 
chill factors blow,
But at Centigrade and Fahrenheit it felt way below 
zero.

The electric duvet was cranked way up to 10, the gas 
fires were on full blast,
When i get the bills from both of those Boards i don't 
know if the money will last,
I was fully clothed in my entire wardrobe but i still 
couldn't feel my toes,
The pipes all burst and we had another first, the water 
in the toilet bowl froze.

When the radio ordered me to stay at home i obeyed 
though i was miffed,
But the roads were ice, there was a ton of snow, and 
when the wind blows snow will drift,
I was brushing and flossing my chattering teeth and in 
the mirror i saw my breath,
Half frozen watching the TV news, the other half of me 
was worried to death.

We've got helicopter rescues and freezing old ladies 
and the choochoo trains won't go,
On the M4 there's a 5 mile tailback, lorries jacknifing 
in the snow,
And it's summertime down in Australia and what gets 
right under my skin,
On the TV they showing suntanned cricketers, they're 
just rubbing it in !

And they're saying it's from Siberia, that Communist, 
Arctic zone,
What we've got is a Russian plot to make the World it's 
ice-cream cone,
Whether we're gonna get a break, the weatherman will 
not say,
I took my dog for a walk and he took a crap, you won't 
smell it until April or May.

And the same thing happened here last year, but you 
don't want to know,
In England people go around wearing raincoats and 
training shoes in the snow.

It was the coldest day on record, in the coldest week 
in memory,
It was the coldest month in the coldest year on the 
coldest night in history,
But don't ask me just how cold it was, you don't want 
to know,
On Centigrade and Fahrenheit it felt way below zero,
I'm talking Centigrade and Fahrenheit, it was way below 
zero.
