OK, it's a pretty cheesy song, but it's also infectious. It doesn't have a chorus like most pop songs; just a 4 bar intro and a 20-bar verse that is repeated twice. The last 8 bars of the verse have an interesting chord progression twist, switching over to the key of F and then hitting the climax of the progression on a novel chord--Fm6/Ab--before resolving nicely back into C via your standard lead in of F, and G. For those following along at home:

          C                                      F                    C
There's a small town in the mountains, where the streets are wide and still;

          F                             C           F C  
There are children making angels in the snow.

    F                 Gsus4            C       Em/B     Am     C/G
The sunset paints the sky at night; An old man works by candle light;

  Dm     /E F6                   G
A tiny baby smiles and waves hello.

       F         C/E      Dm7      Dm7/G C      Cmaj7/B
In the cold gray light of dawn, an eagle flies;

        Bb            F                G
And the men are happy wearing matching ties.

          Bb       F           Fm6/Ab          C
A pair of poodles;    A broken finger will not bend.

          Bb       F           C
Soup with noodles;    A female Klingon's drunk boyfriend.

        Bb   F               Fm6/Ab         C
A sexy lady;    This party's better than it seems.

       Bb           F              G               C
Warren Beatty; Dear sleeping giant panda: pleasant dreams.

If you want the MP3 for this song (one thing that really annoys me about YouTube is the decidedly low-fi mono audio tracks), you can get it directly from jonathancoulton.com here.
