ere we have a snowman, a snowman, a snowman!Oh, where does he come from, and what shall be his name?He says his name is no man, no man, no man!And nowhere and nowhere the land from which he came. (_Now again_) Oh, why did you come here, oh, snowman, oh, snowman?And will you now a friend be, or will you be a foe?“Oh, whether I a friend am, or whether I’m a foe-man,It’s here I mean to stay now, until I have to go!” (_Now again_) But what should you go for, oh, snowman, oh, snowman?And why would you leave us, when home lies at hand?“Oh, when the sun calls me, then I can wait for no man,But back I must go again, to my own land!”And now we’ve made him, he’ll have to stay,Ha! Ha! Ha! He can’t get away. (_The door bursts open, the two children run in_: MATTHEW MARK_and_ MARY ANN.)
