I know how to have fun with felt Lots of poster-paint and pasta shells I can make anything That you can think of out of a sock Folding bits of paper up and carefully cutting out Concertina Christmas trees in our dressing gowns You keep looking hopefully off out of the window But I can't make it snow for you I can't make it snow I know how to make the most of things Empty shoe-boxes and bits of string But I can't fix everything That you want me to with PVA glue We could build a snowman on the driveway if it snows With two lumps of coal for eyes and a carrot nose If I built an igloo you could be an Eskimo But I can't make it snow for you I can't make it snow I guess it's just The way it goes I'll have to tell you things I don't want you to know Sitting in the kitchen on my own on Christmas Eve Wrapping all your presents up while you are asleep I guess we're going to have to try to make it on our own 'Cause I can't make it snow for you I can't make it snow I can't make it snow I can't make it snow I can't make it snow I can't make it snow I can't make it snow
