Lyrics[edit]

Episode version[edit]

Linda Ronstadt:
When the snow starts a-fallin',
There's a man you should be callin':
That's KL5-4796.
Let it ring!
Mr. Plow is a loser
And I think he is a boozer.
Barney & Linda Ronstadt:
So you better make that call to the Plow King!

Album version[edit]

Barney
(walking up to a cardboard cutout of Homer in his Mr. Plow attire) Well, well, if it isn't Mr. Plow.
(Barney starts to repeatedly beat the cutout with a baseball bat.)
Linda Ronstadt:
Hey, Plow King, save some for me.
Barney:
Wow, Linda Ronstadt!
(Barney and Ronstadt beat up the fake Mr. Plow together.)
(Meanwhile, at Moe's Tavern, everyone's watching the ad on TV:)
Moe:
Linda Ronstadt? How'd you get her?
Barney:
Aw, we've been looking for a project to do together for a while.
(The ad continues:)
Linda Ronstadt:
When the snow starts a-fallin',
There's a man you should be callin':
That's KL5-4796.
Let it ring!
Mr. Plow is a loser
And I think he is a boozer.
Barney & Linda Ronstadt:
So you better make that call to the Plow King!
(Barney belches)

Incomplete Spanish version[edit]

Linda Ronstadt told Barney that she was working on a Spanish-language version of the Plow King jingle, and she sang a couple of lines for him:

Señor Plow no es macho
Es solamente un borracho

It translates as follows:

Mr. Plow isn't macho;
He's just a drunk.

They correspond to the English lyrics "Mr. Plow is a loser and I think he is a boozer."

Ronstadt didn't get to sing any of the rest of the Spanish lyrics, as Barney interrupted her to rush off to a plow job on Widow's Peak (which turned out to be a crank call placed by Homer).

Behind the Laughter[edit]

It is the thirty-second track on the album Go Simpsonic with The Simpsons.
