FROSTY THE SNOWMAN

Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul

With a corn cob pipe and a button nose and two eyes made out of coal.

Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale, they say.

He was made of snow but the children know how he came to life one day.

There must have been some magic in that old silk hat they found,

For when they placed it on his head he began to dance around.

Frosty the snowman was alive as he could be

And the children say he could laugh and play just the same as you and me.

Thumpity-thump-thump, thumpity-thump-thump, look at Frosty go

Thumpity-thump-thump, thumpity-thump-thump, over the fields of snow.

JINGLE BELLS w.m. J.S. Pierpont 4/4 1…2…1234

Dashing through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh

O’er the fields we go laughing all the way.

The bells on bob-tails ring, making spirits bright.

What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight. Oh!

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.

Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh.

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.

Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh.

Jingle Bells p.2

A day or two ago I thought I’d take a ride,

And soon Miss Fannie Bright was seated by my side.

The horse was lean and lank, misfortune seemed his lot,

He got into a drifted bank, and we, we got upsot. Oh!

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.

Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh.

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.

Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one…horse…op…en…. sleigh.

LET IT SNOW! LET IT SNOW! LET IT SNOW!

Oh the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful.

And since we’ve no place to go, Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

It doesn’t show signs of stopping and I brought some corn for popping,

The lights are turned way down low, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! CHORUS:

When we finally kiss goodnight, how I’ll hate going out in the storm

But if you’ll really hold me tight, all the way home I’ll be warm.

The fire is slowly dying, and my dear, we’re still goodbye-ing

But as long as you love me so, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! CHORUS (When we finally..)

SILVER BELLS

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks, dressed in holiday style,

In the air there’s a feeling of Christmas.

Children laughing, people passing, meeting smile after smile,

And on ev’ry street corner you hear:

Silver bells, silver bells, it’s Christmas time in the city.

Ringaling, hear them ring, soon it will be Christmas day.

Strings of street lights, even stop lights, blink a bright red and green,

As the shoppers rush home with their treasures.

Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch, this is Santa’s big scene,

And above all this bustle you hear:

Silver bells, silver bells, it’s Christmas time in the city.

Ringaling, hear them ring, soon it will be Christmas day.
