JINGLE CHAINS
by David D. Levine
Sung to the tune of "Jingle Bells"

Driving through the snow
In a two-door Chevrolet
O'er the ice we go
Clanking all the way!

Chains on tires clang
Jangling left and right
On each Toyota and Mustang
That ventures forth tonight!

CHORUS:	Oh, Jingle Chains, Jingle Chains
	Jingle through the streets
	On we go through ice and snow
	The traction sure is swee-eet!

	Jingle Chains, Jingle Chains
	Jingle through the lanes
	On we go through ice and snow
	With clanking tire chains!

Buses sound like tanks
And Datsuns sound like trucks
But they all give thanks
They haven't slipped or stuck!

Chains and cables can
Keep autos from the blues
But pity the pedestrians
Who haven't chains for shoes!

CHORUS

In Portland they don't salt
And drivers here don't know
The way to start or halt
In ice or slush or snow!

So when the weather's cold
With any threat of ice
That's when Portland's drivers bold
All follow this advice:

CHORUS
