Do You Want To Buld A Snowman?

"Do You Want To Build A Snowman?"

It was a snowy day in Tulsa and the gang were trying to stay warm. Everyone except for Sodapop. He wanted to go outside and play but no one wanted to. Not even Two-Bit. He tried and tried and tried to make Steve go outside with him, but all his efforts failed. Everyone knew that Steve hated the song "Do you want to build a snowman", so Soda sung the song to annoy him. This is how it went.

Attempt #1

Steve was on the couch and Soda pinned him down, while singing:

"Do you wanna build a snowman?
Come on, let's go and play!
I never see you anymore,
Come out the door.
It's like you've gone away!
We used to be best buddies,
And now we're not
I wish you would tell me why!
Do you wanna build a snowman?
It doesn't have to be a snowman!"

Steve: No!!!! (Runs away)

Attempt #2

Soda found Steve under his bed, then he pulled him from under there and pinned him down again, while singing:

"Do you wanna build a snowman?
Or ride our bike around the halls?
I think some company is overdue,
I've started talking to
The pictures on the walls!
Hang in there, Joan.
It gets a little lonely
All these empty rooms
Just watching the hours tick by...
tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock"

Steve: If I say yes will you stop singing this dreadful song?!

Soda: Yes.

Steve: Let's go outside to build your stupid snowman.

Soda and Steve made snowmen and played for an hour and Soda was happy. When they came back in the house Steve was singing the song and he couldn't get it out of his head. Everyone laughed at him and he ran around the house banging his head on things, screaming:

"Noooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
