The Snowball Throwing Snowman

The town was all festive the lights all aglow Decorations were hung as children played in the snow There stood a large snowman the children had made Something strange was to happen this very night I’m afraid They had used a magicians magic wand for a nose I guess that’s the reason he came to life I suppose As the people, all walked down the sidewalk that day That crazy old Snowman just wanted to play He gathered up snowballs in a pile, they were stacked And everyone passing soon would get whacked They ducked and they dodged but they stood not a chance That snowball throwing Snowman was making them dance He was throwing them high he was throwing them low He was throwing them fast he was throwing them slow He was throwing curve snowballs that took all by surprise He was throwing them up and let them rain down from the skies The people all said this has to stop We can’t walk past that Snowman without getting popped They all got together to form a brigade It was time Mister Snowman was fully repaid They stood in formation with snowballs galore And they fired on that snowman one hundred times four He fired back at the crowd but just could not win The town folk had won, mister Snowman gave in The town had allowed him to stay where he stood If he’d stop chucking snowballs and just stay and be good. So every Christmas when the lights are aglow And the kids are all playing in the new-fallen snowball You can see the old Snowman but don’t ever stop Cause you just never know when you’re gonna get popped
