Elsa sing Into the Unknown but make it the snow day version...🎤 🎶 I can hear you, but I won’t... Should I tell the kids, or leave them alone? There’s a snowfall, and it’s deep, And the roads are looking pretty bleak... 🎶 Everyone’s been hoping for a day to stay inside, And now the winter weather just won’t let us drive! There’s only one thing left to say... SNOW DAYYYYYY! ❄️
