Suzy Snowflake

I love music, and seem to come up with a song for most occasions. It is almost like living in a musical!
One that comes to me the first snowfall each year is Suzy Snowflake. I can still visualize my mother's old 78 record that she would play during the holidays, and hear the voices sing out, "here comes Suzy Snowflake, " but otherwise haven't heard it anywhere else.
It is a fun song with simple lyrics and a catchy melody. The lyrics are:
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.
To hear the original with Rosemary Clooney singing, visit Susie1114.
