She started her professional career as a child performer and has had one of the longest careers of any British entertainer, spanning more than eight decades. Clark's professional career began during the Second World War as a child entertainer on BBC Radio. In 1954 she charted with "The Little Shoemaker", the first of her big UK hits, and within two years she began recording in French. Her international successes have included "Prends mon cล“ur", "Sailor" (a UK number one), "Romeo", and "Chariot". Hits in German, Italian, and Spanish followed. In late 1964 Clark's success extended to the United States with a four-year run of career-defining, often upbeat singles, many written or co-written by Tony Hatch and Jackie Trent. These include her signature song "Downtown" (US number one), "I Know a Place", "My Love" (US number one), "A Sign of the Times", "I Couldn't Live Without Your Love", "Who Am I", "Colour My World", "This Is My Song" (by Charlie Chaplin) (a UK number one), "Don't Sleep in the Subway", "The Other Man's Grass Is Always Greener" and "Kiss Me Goodbye". Between January 1965 and April 1968 Clark charted with nine US Top 20 hits in the US, where she was sometimes called "the First Lady of the British Invasion".

Clark has sold more than 68 million records. She has also enjoyed success in the musical film Finian's Rainbow and in the stage musicals The Sound of Music, Blood Brothers, Sunset Boulevard, and Mary Poppins.

Where Did My Snowman Go
Petula Clark Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where? Where?
Where? Where?
Where did the snowman go?

I can see his pipe and top hat, as they lie there in the snow!
Where did the snowman...
Where did the snowman...
Where did the snowman go?

I've been asking Mom and Daddy, but they said they didnรƒยข??t know...
Where did the snowman...
Where did the snowman...
Where did the snowman go?

Only yesterday I met Jack Frost; he said there'll be a storm,
So I lit a little fire just to keep my snowman warm.

Did he slide back home to snow land to become an Eskimo?
Where did the snowman...
Where did the snowman...
Where did the snowman go?

Did he go to Iceland? No! No! No!
Well did he go to Snow land? No! No! No!
Where? Where?
Where? Where?
Where did the snowman go? Go!

Has he gone to visit Rudolph, helping Santa through the snow?
Where did the snowman...
Where did the snowman...
Where did the snowman go?

I have sent a note to Santa; I am sure that he would know
Where did the snowman...
Where did the snowman...
Where did the snowman go?

When I left him standing on the lawn he seemed so cold and damp,
I went right into the house and got a nice warm sun-ray lamp.
I would give a million pennies, if he'd come back to me now
Where did the snowman...
Where did the snow man...




Where did the snowman go?
Where did my snowman go? Where did he go!

The little girl wonders if the snowman slid back home to Snow Land to become an Eskimo or if he went to Iceland or Snow Land, but she concludes that he didn't. She then speculates whether he went to visit Rudolph and help Santa or if he's just hiding somewhere.


Through the lyrics of the song, the little girl's sadness and longing to have her snowman back are evident. She sends a note to Santa, hoping he will bring her snowman back, and even tries to warm him up with a sun-ray lamp.

My wife loved listening to this record as a child of eight. Happy days!

IVORIESMAN

Must be a rare one from Ms.Clark - on her Dad's record label if I'm not mistaken...

OldiesAl

Certainly is Joe, you have to wonder if one of the big labels would have released this with the kids just shouting and not attempting to sing. Never knew this existed so probably not many were sold

IVORIESMAN

ferrarialย ...maybe marketed as a fund raiser perhaps.

OldiesAl

There is a note on the sheet music ''A Royalty On Each Copy Is Paid To Bernardo's Homes''
