If you're happy that it snowed, (clap your hands)
If you're happy that it snowed, (clap your hands)
If it's fluffy and it's white, such a lovely, snowy sight!
If you're happy that it snowed, (clap your hands)

I'll be wearing (two warm mittens) when it snows. 
I'll be wearing (two warm mittens) when it snows
