Snow For Johnny Lyrics - Have A Holly Jolly Christmas - Burl Ives

Please send some snow 

Some snow for Johnny 

He wants to build 

A big snowman 

It was a week just before Christmas 

Way down in Louisiana 

A 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" 

Please send some snow 

Some snow for Johnny 

He wants to build 

A big snowman 

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 

Please send some snow 

Some snow for Johnny 

He wants to build 

A big snowman 

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 

A big snowman 

Thanks for the snow 

The snow for Johnny 

Now he can build 

A big snowman 

Thanks for the snow 

The snow for Johnny 

Now he can build 

A big snowman
