SOCKO THE SMALLEST SNOWBALL
(Freddie Morgan / Dave Myers)

Spike Jones & His City Slickers with The Bell Sisters - 1952



You've all heard of Alice
In Wonderland
Well, we have a little story
We hope you'll understand
It's about a little snowball
We met the other day
He actually spoke to us!
And this is what he had to say

I'm Socko the smallest snowball
But I never get a chance to play
What fun for the other snowballs
To be thrown back and forth all day

The kids all built a great big fort
With snowballs big and round
But when the battle finished
I was still there on the ground

Oh, if they would only try me
I'm small but I'm so fully packed
I'm sure if I hit a window
That window would be all cracked

The sun will soon be here they say
And then I guess I'll melt away
So please somebody come and play
With Socko the smallest snowball

SPOKEN:
Oh, how I wish that I could be
On top of some big hill
Then I would roll right off and start
To roll and roll until
I'd get so big that all the kids
Would point at me and stare
And say I was the biggest, biggest
Snowball anywhere

But, I'm, Socko the smallest snowball
And it seems I never have much fun
I'll bet if somebody would throw me
I could make all the other kids run

One day a man chased all the kids
He was so big and fat
Oh, how the children laughed
When I knocked off his big silk hat

Oh, why must I be so little?
I wish I was real big instead
Then if they built a snowman
I might even be the head

With two big eyes
A great big smile
I'd make the kiddies
Laugh all the while

Please somebody, give a trial
To Socko the smallest snowball
