Breadie The Snowman

Meet Breadie the snowman (kids thought up the name from ginger"bread"). 

 Breadie the snowman was jolly and so good,

With a scarf so bright, a carrot nose

And two eyes made out of wood.

Breadie the snowman is a fairy tale, they say,

He was made of snow but the children

Know how he came to life one day.

There must have been some magic in that

Old striped hat they found.

For when they placed it on his head

He began to dance around.

O, Breadie the snowman

Was alive as he could be,

And the children say he could laugh

And play just the same as you and me.

Thumpetty thump thump,

Thumpety thump thump,

Look at Breadie go.

Thumpetty thump thump,

Thumpety thump thump,

Over the hills of snow.

 Breadie the snowman knew

The sun was hot that day,

So he said, "Let's run and

We'll have some fun

Now before I melt away."

Down to the village,

With some antlers as his hands,

Running here and there all

Around the square saying,

Catch me if you can.

He led the Ellsworths down the streets of town

Right to the sidewalk

And he only paused a moment when

He heard their mom holler "Stop!"

Oh Breadie the snow man

Had to hurry on his way,

But he waved goodbye saying,

"Don't you cry,

 I'll be back again someday.

Thumpety thump thump,

Thumpetty thump thump,

Thumpety thump thump,

Look at Breadie go.

Thumpetty thump thump,

Over the hills of snow.
