The Great Snowman
Streaplers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 wed

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
he went around breaking all the girlies' hearts
Till one day the great snowman found
Linda Lou started melting him down
He bought the ring and they set the day
and the great snowman started melting away

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 wed

Now the great snowman and his loving spouse
lived in the little subdivision house
They've got six kids and his mother in law
and expecting another kiddie in the fall
His old Cadillac needs a paint retouched
it's full of baby diaper and bottles and such
The great snowman has outgrown
all his flashy cuddy clothes

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 wed
