Over the river and through the woods
To grandmother’s house we go.
The horse knows the way to carry the sleigh
Through the white and drifted snow.
Over the river and through the woods,
Oh, how the wind does blow,
It stings the toes and bites the nose
As over the ground we go.
Snowflakes (To the tune of “Frère Jacques”)
Dance like snowflakes
Dance like snowflakes
In the air
In the air
Whirling, twirling snowflakes
Whirling, twirling snowflakes
Here and there
Here and there
Jack Frost by Paul Forest
Jack Frost rapped on the window pane
And knocked on the door with his icicle cane.
“Excuse me,” I said. “The door is shut tight,
I’d rather you didn’t come in tonight.”
So he wrote his name all over the glass
And the baby sneezed as she heard him pass.
Snow is Falling all Around (To the tune of “Twinkle, twinkle, little star”)
Snow is falling all around; falling, falling, to the ground.
I catch snowflakes on my tongue.
Building snowmen is such fun.
Snow is falling all around; falling, falling, to the ground.
Knock No More by Elizabeth Gilpatrick
When Old Man Winter comes knocking at your door,
He’ll nip your fingers and freeze you to the core,
Knock! Knock! Can’t come in! Knock no more!
Jingle Bells (Traditional)
Dashing through the snow, in a one horse open sleigh,
O’er the fields we go, laughing all the way,
Bells on bobtails ring, making spirits bright,
What fun it is to laugh and sing a sleighing song tonight. Oh!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh!
Winter Fantasy by Jill Gallina
Snowflakes falling all over town,
Slipping, sliding ev’rybody rushin’ round.
There’s an icy chill in the air,
Telling us that winter’s really here. Oh!
I’m so glad that winter is here.
Grab your sled and let out a happy cheer
because its snowing, blowing, all through the day.
Winter winds will surely blow all your cares away.
I’m a Little Snowman (To the tune “I’m a Little Teapot”)
**I’m a little snowman big and fat.
Here’s my scarf and here’s my hat.
I’m a happy fellow, here’s my nose.
I’m all snow from head to toes!**
**I have two bright eyes so I can see,
all the snow falling down on me.
When the weather’s cold, I’m strong and tall,
but when it’s warm I get very small!**
Jingle-bell Rock by J. Beal and J. Boothe
Jingle-bell, jingle-bell, jingle-bell rock,
Jingle-bell swing and jingle-bell ring.
Snowin’ and blowin’ up bushels of fun.
Now the jingle-hop has begun.
Jingle-bell, jingle-bell, jingle-bell rock,
Jingle-bells chime in jingle-bell time.
Dancin’ and prancin’ in Jingle-bell Square
in the frosty air.
What a bright time, it’s the right time to rock the night away.
Jingle-bell time is a swell time to go gliding in a one horse sleigh.
Giddy-ap, jingle-horse, pick up your feet, jingle around the clock;
Mix and mingle in a jingle-in’ beat,
that’s the jingle-bell, that’s the jingle-bell,
that’s the jingle-bell rock!
