But EVERYBODY knows the bits from the Nutcracker Suite (the 2nd act dances), right? These even get used in movie ads. So, this is to the tune of the Trepak/Russian/Coffee, or however you learned it. Rhythm is YA-da-da-da-da-dum-dum-dum-da, ya-da-da-da-da-dum-dum-dum-da (ie, fast) if you need it picked out for you. This is also MY first try; please be kind. Karen Webb Go, Artemesia, go, go, go I'm sitting in a pile of snow But you just sit there overflowing.  Italy's full and biscuits drowned And bubbles rise from underground All they do is mesmerize us, (Bridge) Oh, Artemesia, please have mercy on us, The hot tea's gone; we're really freezing . Why can't you be like once you were before When I could sit for just two hours And you'd erupt Erupt! Erupt, erupt erupt erupt erupt! Go, Artemesia, go, go, go I'm digging out a house of snow You've overflowed for 18 hours I'm gonna see you anyway Even if it takes all day You overflowed at just 10 minutes But bears are pawing at my food A bison's making pre-charge signals I see a moose, his hackles rising OK, I pack To go OMG there go the thumps!

Have yourself a merry little Grand sit, keep Grand’s pool in sight, Stare for hours at tiny bits of geyserite.   Here we sit on a foggy day, rainy soggy day till late, Faithful friends who are near to us share their beer with us and wait.   Through the gloom we all sit here together if the storms allow, We’ll wait here until we all see Grand go POW, So have yourself a merry little Grand sit now.
