Song: Do You Want to Build a Snowman?

  • “Do you want to build a snowman?”
  • “Yes [I want to build a snowman]”

…Elsa?
Do you want to build a snowman?
Come on, let’s go and play!
I never see you anymore
Come out the door
It’s like you’ve gone away

We used to be best buddies
And now we’re not
I wish you would tell me why!

Do you want to build a snowman?
It doesn’t have to be a snowman

Go away, AnnaOkay, bye

Do you want to build a snowman?
Or ride our bike around the halls?
I think some company is overdue
I’ve started talking to
The pictures on the walls!

It gets a little lonely
All these empty rooms
Just watching the hours tick by
(tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock)

Elsa, please I know you’re in there
People are asking where you’ve been
They say, “have courage” and I’m trying to
I’m right out here for you
Just let me in

We only have each other
It’s just you and me
What are we gonna do?

Do you want to build a snowman?

Song: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen,
you know Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen,
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows

All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games

Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say,
“Rudolph with your nose so bright,
Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?”

Then how all the reindeer loved him,
As they shouted out with glee,
Rudolph the red-nose Reindeer
You’ll go down in history

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it,
You would even say it glows,

All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names,
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games,

Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say,
“Rudolph with your nose so bright,
Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?”

Then how all the reindeer loved him,
As they shouted out with glee,
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,
You’ll go down in history

Song: We Wish You a Merry Christmas

We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year

Oh, bring us some figgy pudding
Oh, bring us some figgy pudding
Oh, bring us some figgy pudding
And bring it right hereGood tidings we bring to you and your kin
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year
We won’t go until we get some
We won’t go until we get some
We won’t go until we get some
So bring it right here

Good tidings we bring to you and your kin
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year
We all like our figgy pudding
We all like our figgy pudding
We all like our figgy pudding
With all its good cheers

Good tidings we bring to you and your kin
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year

Song: The Winter Shiver

We can call this song and use the lyric “winter shiver”, “winter pokey”, or “snowkey pokey”. All three have advantages. “Winter pokey” is closest to the original, “The Hokey Pokey“, and is in otherwise standard English. “Snowkey Pokey” is cute and sounds more like the original. “Winter shiver” has more meaning for EFL and introduces another English word and gesture “shiver”, which means “involuntary body shaking to warm the body due to cold”.

The Winter Shiver

(Sung to the tune of The Hokey Pokey)

You put your right mitten on,
You take your right mitten off.
You put your right mitten on,
And you shake it all about.
You do the winter shiver
And you turn yourself around
That’s what it’s all about!

You put your left mitten on,
You take your left mitten off.
You put your left mitten on,
And you shake it all about.
You do the winter shiver
And you turn yourself around
That’s what it’s all about!

You put your right boot on,
You take your right boot off.
You put your right boot on,
And you shake it all about.
You do the winter shiver
And you turn yourself around
That’s what it’s all about!

You put your left boot on,
You take your left boot off.
You put your left boot on,
And you shake it all about.
You do the winter shiver
And you turn yourself around
That’s what it’s all about!

You put your winter hat on,
You take your winter hat off.
You put your winter hat on,
And you shake it all about.
You do the winter shiver
And you turn yourself around
That’s what it’s all about!

You put your long scarf on,
You take your long scarf off.
You put your long scarf on,
And you shake it all about.
You do the winter shiver
And you turn yourself around
That’s what it’s all about!

You put your snowsuit on
You take your snowsuit off
You put your snowsuit on
And you shake it all about
You do the winter shiver
And you turn yourself around
That’s what it’s all about!
