Thread Name: Origins: Suzy Snowflake (from Rosemary Clooney)
Subject: Lyr Add: SUZY SNOWFLAKE (Sid Tepper, Roy Brodsky)
KT is correct about the ommitted verse. Let's put them in the proper order:
SUZY SNOWFLAKE
(Sid Tepper and Roy Brodsky, 1951)
Here comes Suzy Snowflake,
Dressed in a snow-white gown,
Tap, tap, tappin' at your windowpane
To tell you she's in town.
Here comes Suzy Snowflake;
Soon you will hear her say,
"Come out, ev'ryone, and play with me;
I haven't long to stay.
If you want to make a snowman,
I'll help you make one, two, three.
If you wanna take a sleigh ride,
The ride's on me."
Here comes Suzy Snowflake;
Look at her tumblin' down,
Bringing joy to ev'ry girl and boy;
Suzy's come to town.
Note: In the bridge ("If you want to make a snowman..."), there is a sound effect after "take a sleigh ride" -- a high-pitched whistle -- and in some remakes of the song, the vocalist says "wheeeee!" in place of the whistle.
Here in Mudcat Country, we got 18 inches of snow last weekend (more at Mudcat Central itself), but temperatures rose during the week and most of it is going or gone. :^(
