A few years ago there lived a lover

by the name of Jimmy Jones..

who really snowed the girls and left them cold,

and gained the title of 'The Great Snowman.'

CHORUS:
E                            A            E
I remember the day, when the snow melted away.
                          B  B7
And the Great Snowman was wed.
         E      B
He said, yes, I do..
           E             A
and little Linda said it too,
        E         B       E           B
and the Great Snowman was we..eh..eh..ed.
            E
we..eh..eh..wed.

Now, Jimmy Jones was the Snowman's name,
                           B
he put all the other local lovers to shame.
   B7
He had good looks and a big fine car,
    B                            E
And went around breaking all the girlie's hearts.
  E7
Until one day the Great Snowman found,

Linda Lou, who started melting him down..
   F#
He bought a ring and they set the day
        B                     B7       B
and the Great Snowman started melting away.

Now, the Great Snowman and his loving spouse,
                        B
live in a little sub—division house.
     B7                   
They got six kids and his mother—in—law,
      B                      E
and expecting another kiddie in the Fall.
    E7
His old Cadillac needs the paint retouched,
     A
it's full of baby diapers and bottles and such,
    F#                          B              B7    B
the Great Snowman has outgrown..all his flashy Caddy clothes.
