'Oh, Ranger!" 



But even with the opportunity winter brings to the rangers, each to 

 pursue his hobby, they are glad to see the spring, for if spring comes, 

 can Dudes be far behind? In the rhyme of Ranger Dan Anderson : 



There's a bunch of spoutin' geysers blowin' steam for all they're worth, 



And the waterfalls are makin' quite a din, 



And the fragrance of the flowers wastes upon the empty air 



While waitin* for the season to begin. 



The ranger's gettin' ready for the comin' of the Dudes, 



For in winter they are lonesome as all sin, 



And the bears are growlin* hungry 'round the empty garbage dumps 



While waitin' for the season to begin. 



Soon the folks will ask fool questions 'bout everything in sight, 

 And the 'jammers claim the tips are extra thin, 

 But in spite of all the cussin' one and all we're mighty glad 

 To be waitin' for the season to begin.
