The snow comes down so lilywhite 
I wonder what it means 
it is a most delicious sight 
I love those frosty scenes. 
And in a while I do suppose 
I'll build me a big mate 
a snowman with a carrot nose 
before it is too late. 
For when the sun comes out in force 
and looks at all the snow 
it's time to get my hobbyhorse 
so we can watch the show. 
I'll sit upon my hobbyhorse 
and watch my snowman die 
it is a shame that in due course 
all friends must say good bye.
