5 Little Snowmen

by: Heidi Franz
Tune: Five Little Ducks

5 little snowmen standing tall 
Scarves, hats, and mittens for them all
The sun melted only one away
4 little snowmen stayed to play

4.., 3..., 2..., 1...

No little snowmen standing tall
Clothing and a puddle left for all
The sun melted all of them away
Only snow will bring them back to play

5 red apples hanging in a tree 
The juiciest apples you ever did see
The wind came by and gave an angry frown
And 1 little apple came tumbling down 

4 red apples...

2 red apples...
1 red apple...
