Refrain:
Please send some snow
Some snow for Johnny
He wants to build 
big snowman

It was a week just before Christmas
Way down in Louisiana
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"

refrain...

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 

refain...

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
big snowman

Thanks for the snow
The snow for Johnny
Now he can build
big snowman

Thanks for the snow
The snow for Johnny
Now he can build
big snowman
