burl ives – snow for johnny lyrics
please send some snow
some snow for johnny
he wants to build
a big snowman
it was a week just before christmas
way down in louisiana
a little boy was kneeling by his bed
in a manner poised and grand
i listened as he said his prayers
his voice came soft and low
he said, “god tell saint nicholas
to send a little snow”
please send some snow
some snow for johnny
he wants to build
a big snowman
i’d like to build a snowman
like the other children do
i’ve got an old top hat and a walking cane
got a big long cigar too
yes, everything is ready
and i’m all set to go
how can i build a snowman
when i haven’t any snow
please send some snow
some snow for johnny
he wants to build
a big snowman
now, early christmas morning
much to his surprise
snowflakes by the million
were falling from the skies
down the stairs and out-of-doors
as fast as he could go
so happy that saint nicholas
had sent a little snow
thanks for the snow
the snow for johnny
now he can build
a big snowman
thanks for the snow
the snow for johnny
now he can build
a big snowman
thanks for the snow
the snow for johnny
now he can build
a big snowman
