Snowball
From the album Scattered
[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
DSnowball could jump higher than any horse arGound
He jAumped over a car, he jumped over a cDow
And tAen spotted ponies standing on a hDouse
[Verse 2]
SometDimes he went so high that when he came dGown
There were flAowers on his legs from inside the clDouds
But bAad children would steal them and sBmell them downtown
[Chorus]
SnDowball, Snowball, born in sprGing
PeAople say he jumped high enough to hear the angels sDing
[Solo]

He was fAitted with spectacles and new plastic tDeeth
But the crAowd still whispered about the gBmlue factory
[Verse 4]
One raDiny day he fell while jumping over a brGidge
Those bAad children came running to poke at him with stDicks
So he jAumped up again with a scrBmeam and a kick
[Outro]
SnDowball, Snowball, jumped up to the clGouds
PeAople say he jumped so high, he never came dDown
PeAople say he jumped so high, he never came dDown

There were flowers on his legs from inside the clouds

But bad children would steal them and sell them downtown

People say he jumped high enough to hear the angels sing

As the years flew by, his legs started to creak

He was fitted with spectacles and new plastic teeth

But the crowd still whispered about the glue factory

One rainy day he fell while jumping over a bridge

A D

Those bad children came running to poke at him with sticks

So he jumped up again with a scream and a kick

People say he jumped so high, he never came down
