SNOW
It fell in the city
It fell through the night
And the black rooftops
all turned white
Red fire hydrants
All turned white
Blue police cars
All turned white
Green garbage cans
All turned white
Gray garbage cans
All turned white
Yellow No Parking signs
All turned white
When it fell in the city
All through the night
THE MORE IT SNOWS
By A.A. Milne
The more it snows
Tiddly Pom
The more it goes
Tiddly Pom
The more it goes
Tiddly Pom
On Snowing
And nobody knows
Tiddly Pom
How cold my toes
Tiddly Pom
How cold my toes
Tiddly Pom
Are growing.
I Am a Snowman
I am a snowman, cold and white Stand up tall
I stand so still through all the night
With a carrot nose Point to nose
And head held high,
And a lump of coal to make each eye. Point to eyes
I have a muffler made of red, Pretend to tie a muffler
And a stovepipe hat upon my head Place hands on top of head
The sun is coming out, oh my! Make big circle with arms over head
I think that I am going to cry. Wipe tear from eyes
Yesterday, I was plump and round. Form large circle with arms
Now, I’m just a river on the ground! Sink to floor
Snowflakes
Flutter fingers high above head in the air, slowly falling to the ground
Snowflakes whirling all around, all around, all around,
Snowflakes whirling all around
Until they cover all the ground
Chubby Little Snowman
A chubby little snowman
Had a carrot nose Point to nose
Along came a bunny Hold up two fingers to make a bunny
And what do you suppose?
That hungry little bunny
Looking for his lunch
Ate that little snowman’s nose Pretend to grab nose
Nibble nibble crunch!
The Snowman
Roll him and roll him until he is big Roll hands
Roll him until he is fat as a pig. Make big circle with arms
He has two eyes and a hat on his head. Point to eyes and top of head
He’ll stand there all night Raise arms above head
While we go to bed. Rest head against hands
