O his Frog was freezing, and so was he,
As the cold snow fell, and
the chill wind blew.
So we went to the
haberdashery,
For a hat for our saint
and Toady too.
Will you love me in Summer,
Spring and Fall?
Will you love me in Winter
most of all?
So, we bought two bonnets
and a scarf so fine,
As the cold snow fell, and
the chill wind blew.
And Good Albert was glad
for folks so kind,
Who will comfort the
Saints and Toadies too!
Will you love me in Summer,
Spring and Fall?
Will you love me in Winter
most of all?
