  Snow!

  Snow! Snow!

  Come out in the snow.

  Snow! Snow!

  Just look at the snow!

  Come out! Come out!

  Come out in the snow.

  I want to know

  If you like snow.

  Do you like it?

  Yes or no?

  Oh yes! Oh yes!

  I do like snow.

  Do you like it

  In your face?

  Yes!

  I like it any place.

  What is snow?

  We do not know.

  But snow is lots of fun,

  We know.

  What makes it snow?

  We do not know.

  But snow is fun

  To dig and throw.

  Snow is good

  For me and you,

  For men and women,

  Horses, too.

  Snow is good.

  It makes you slide.

  It lets you give

  Your dog a ride.

  Snow is good

  For making tracks…

  And making pictures

  With your backs.

  We go up hill.

  The snow is deep.

  We can’t go fast.

  The hill is steep.

  We think our dog

  Has gone to sleep.

  But then we get

  Up top at last.

  Then down we come.

  We come down fast!

  Sometimes we put on

  Long, long feet

  And walk up

  Every hill we meet.

  Down hill we fly!

  Down hill we sail!

  Our dog sails after,

  On his tail.

  What a silly

  Thing to do!

  Are your feet

  Too long for you?

  Come on! Get up!

  Get on your way!

  We have a lot

  To do today.

  Now take some snow

  And make a ball.

  A lot of snow balls

  Make a wall.

  Put on more snow balls

  One by one.

  Our house of snow

  Will soon be done.

  Do you like bread?

  Do you like meat?

  Come in our house.

  Come in and eat.

  Snow is lots of fun,

  All right!

  It gives you

  A big appetite.

  We had our bread.

  We had our meat.

  Some bread is left

  For birds to eat.

  Now make another

  Ball of snow.

  Push it! Push it!

  See it go.

  What a snow ball!

  See it grow!

  See it grow

  And grow and grow!

  What will we make?

  Let’s make a man!

  Let’s make the biggest

  Man we can!

  We will call

  Our snow man Ned.

  But first

  He has to have a head.

  His head will have

  To have a hat.

  His hat is on.

  Just look at that!

  He is so big.

  He is so tall.

  He is the biggest

  Man of all!

  The sun! That sun!

  It came out fast.

  Do you think Ned

  Is going to last?

  Keep that sun

  Away from Ned!

  That sun is going

  To his head.

  The biggest snow man

  Of them all

  Is very, very,

  Very small.

  The way that sun

  Is coming down,

  There soon will be

  No snow in town!

  Take some! Save it

  From the sun!

  Take all you can

  And run! Run! Run!

  The snow out there

  Will come and go,

  But snow will keep

  In here, we know.

  So we will put

  This snow away

  And play with it

  Some other day.
