THE GREAT SNOWMAN (John D. Loudermilk) BOB LUMAN (Warner Bros. 5204, 1961) A few years ago there lived a lover By the name of Jimmy Jones Who really snowed the girls and left them cold And gained the title of "The Great Snowman" [Chorus] I remember the day when the snow melted away And the Great Snowman was wed He said, yes I do And little Linda said it too And the Great Snowman was we-e-e-e-d Now, Jimmy Jones was the Snowman's name He put all the other local lovers to shame He had good looks and a big fine car And went around breaking all the girlies hearts Until one day the Great Snowman found Linda Lou, who started melting him down He bought a ring and they set the day And the Great Snowman started melting away [Chorus] Now, the Great Snowman and his loving spouse Live in the little sub-division house They got six kids and his mother-in-law And expecting another kiddy in the fall His old Cadillac needs the paint retouch'd It's full of baby diapers and bottles and such The Great Snowman has outgrown all his flashy catty clothes [Chorus] |
