Jack Frost
Lyrics by Jules Bass
Music by Maury Laws
You wake up one mornin’ and you know that somethin’s new,
The window panes are frosted and the sky’s a blindin’ blue.
There’s not a bird out singin’ and the ground is white with snow,
You can see the words come puffin’ out when you say your first “hello”.
You know who’s been there and I think it’s really nice,
To feel the mornin’ through the glass where the dew has turned to ice.
He’s nippin’ at your nose. You can feel him in your toes.
A shiver and a tear lets you know Jack Frost is here.
If you try to turn around when you hear his icy sound,
He’s sure to disapear but you know Jack Frost is here.
Listen, listen, you can hear him spreadin’ winter as he goes.
He’s nippin’ at your nose, you can feel him in your toes.
A shiver and a tear lets you know Jack Frost is here.
If you try to turn around when you hear his icy sound,
He’s sure to disapear but you know, yes you know.
Then you know Jack Frost is here.
