Aspen Grove, Mountain Cove
(to the tune of "Jingle Bells")
Winding up the road,
Past Redford's Sundance Lodge,
We almost hit a deer,
That's why we drive a Dah-odge;
The road is curved ahead,
Snow piles are left and right,
What fun it is to drive and drool
For buffet meals tonight.
Oh, Aspen Grove, mountain cove
Tucked behind Mount Timp,
What fun it is to feed our face
And turn into a blih-imp;
Aspen Grove, mountain cove
Tucked behind Mount Timp,
What fun it is to feed our face
And turn into a blimp.
An hour or two ago,
We thought we'd drive toward
The mountaintop with par...
- ty animals abo-oard;
The road was lean and lank,
It led us to the top
Until we reached a parking lot,
And there we had to stop.
(repeat the Chorus, of chorus):
Oh, Aspen Grove, mountain cove
Tucked behind Mount Timp,
What fun it is to feed our face
And turn into a blih-imp;
Aspen Grove, mountain cove
Tucked behind Mount Timp,
What fun it is to feed our face
And turn into a blimp.
The reason that we're here
Is not to be inspired
We've labored long enough,
And we are very ti-ired;
So speeches and the like
Are something you can burn;
We're here to have a good time ‘cause
We'd rather eat than learn.
(repeat the Chorus, of chorus):
Oh, Aspen Grove, mountain cove
Tucked behind Mount Timp,
What fun it is to feed our face
And turn into a blih-imp;
Aspen Grove, mountain cove
Tucked behind Mount Timp,
What fun it is to feed our face
And turn into a blimp.
