Truck Tuesday : Pittsburgh Vacation edition

Hey Yinz,

We will be on our way to Pittsburgh in 72 hours! The forecast says it will snow when we are in the burgh, I just hope we don't get snowed in! I am pretty psyched for snow though...I only get to see snow every 5 or so years, so it will be a treat!

When were were in Pittsburgh at the end of the summer, I kept singing "Pittsburgh Vacation" to the tune of "Christmas Vacation" but I never sang more than "It's that time, Pittsburgh time is here...Hip Hip Hooray for Pittsburgh Vacation" and I was reminded of that this week. So of course I decided to finish the song for this trip. The song is more appropriate now that it is the Christmas season at well...

This probably also shows that I have way too much free time and a lack of creativity, but here goes!

Pittsburgh Vacation

To the tune of Christmas Vacation by Mavis Staples

It's that time, Pittsburgh time is here
Everybody knows there's not a better place to cheer
Shout Hooray, Wade's on his way
Hip, Hip Hooray, for Pittsburgh Vacation

Gotta make it to the great keystone state
(jing-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-ling)
Now it's getting closer I can't wait
(jang-a-lang-a-lang-a-lang-lang)
Gonna make this holiday as perfect as can be
Just wait and see this Pittsburgh Vacation

This old town, sure is looking good
Got ourselves the finest sports teams in the neighborhood

Ain’t it cold, playing in the snow
That's how its done on Pittsburgh Vacation

Lets all walk the strip and freeze to death
(jing-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-ling)

Let a toasty totty warm your breath
(jang-a-lang-a-lang-a-lang-lang)
Give the Steelers the warmest welcome that they’ve ever had
We're so glad it Pittsburgh Vacation

And when the snow is falling on Heinz Field

We can boo Jets fans and see a win revealed

(jing-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-ling)
(jang-a-lang-a-lang-a-lang-lang)

Pittsburgh Vacation (repeat)

We're so glad it's Pittsburgh Vacation

Mad Men Christmas party is getting near
(jing-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-ling)
Primanti’s and Beto’s in the air
(jang-a-lang-a-lang-a-lang-lang)
Let the spirit of Myron carry us away
Hip, Hip Hooray for Pittsburgh Vacation

Fa-la-la-la-la and ho ho ho
jingle, jangle, jingle as we go
Let the spirit of Myron... (fade)

I hope yinz have a great week - I know I will! I will be posting pics from our trip next Tuesday!
