♪ Seventh grade in art class,
time to carve things out of soap.
♪
♪ Be like Michelangelo,
just sculpt and dream and hope.

♪ I didn't make a David,
but I made a man of snow.
Let my inner artist soar,
I finished and thought,
whoa.
♪
♪ I
made him different, made him rare.
He wasn't made of circles, he was square.
Then I showed my teacher what I'd wrought.
Miss Dietz just sighed and told me what she thought.
♪ In
front of everyone, my teacher said to me,
this is not a snowman.
This is just a blob.
You've got to pay attention.
I'll guide you, that's my job.
♪ I've taught this class for 20 years,
so what I say might feel profound.
Learning can be painful.
Listen up,
a snowman should be round.
♪ La la la la la la la la la la la la la

I was good at school,
had a perfect GPA. Thought I'd be a teacher,
but that seemed so far away.
My future died that instant, say goodbye to 4.0
I'll end up some homeless bum just screwed by soap and snow
I'll beg for quarters on the street,
find empty cat food cans so I can eat
That sounds dramatic,
I don't care,
whatever dreams I had just turned to air
God, I hate this snowman,
guess I'll never win
My friends are so creative,
I want it to fit in
I thought my snowman looked so cool,
but teachers get too referee
I can't be artistic,
so who cares, I'll settle for a C
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
My mom threw a fit at my teacher for me,
Misty's finally caved,
changed my C to a B
Then mom sat me down to give me the news,
she told me, whatever you may choose
Life's not about grades,
it's not about schools,
you should try to be good,
you should learn the rules
But make your own way when people say no,
cause opinions in time will just melt like snow
Go and make your snowman,
go and make your thing
Don't worry what your song is,
just open up and sing
No matter what you make,
I swear,
the things you make will make you strong
When you've made your snowman,
check it out, your snowman sings this song
La la la la la la la la la la la la lapa
