Dave Ross performs ‘Walking With an iPhone in Your Hand’

(Winter Wonderland)
Key of B-flat

Sleigh bells ring
Are you listening?
In the lane
Snow is glistening

The lights on the trees
That you’ll never see
(Cause you’re) Lookin’ at the iPhone in your hand.

Back at home, home,
Children laughing
All their gifts, they’re unwrapping

But they didn’t get yours
— You walked right past the stores
Playing with the iPhone in your hand.

Once upon a time we’d build a snowman
Our fingers would be frozen to the bone
Today you send emojis of a snowman
Using fingers that are frozen to your phone

Years from now, we’ll admire…
Photographs by the fire…

Wondrin’ who was the clown,
Who always looked down..
Walkin’… with the iPhone… in his hand

Thanks to John Engerman on piano, and the indulgent audience at Town Hall in Seattle.
