1 Cold nights Air that makes your skin glow, Starshine through your window, Silver fairy lights. Icicles like splinters, Nothing like the winter s Snow will soon be falling, Winter s come a-calling, How the blizzard bites. Stay in bed a-sleeping, Never go a-creeping, Huddle round the fire, section Pull the shutters tight, While the snow piles ever higher, Turning all to white. Verse 3 Frozen lakes and rivers, Winds that give you shivers Blowing from the heights. Forests full of bare trees, Children must beware these Children must beware these

2 Buns Rich folks sit at a groaning table Loaded down with fancy fare. Dressed in satin, silks and sable, Blinded by their silverware. Sipping wine from crystal glasses, Making out they re having fun. But Nothing can beat the simple treat Of a little bit of butter on a toasted bun. Chorus Bun, bun, toasted bun, Buns are liked by everyone, Know what can t be beat, my son? A little bit of butter on a toasted bun. Poor folks dine in a simple fashion, Hunks of bread and salted fish. What would it take to stir their passion? What would be their favourite dish? Packed with raisins and sultanas, Warm and golden as the sun. No Nothing can beat the simple treat Of a little bit of butter on a toasted bun. Chorus Bun, bun, toasted bun, Buns are liked by everyone, Know what can t be beat, my son? A little bit of butter on a toasted bun. Some butter on a toasted bun, bun, bun, Bun, bun, bun, bun. A little bit of butter on a toasted bun!

3 Hope is never dead When the shadows gather, When the light has flown, When the winds of winter Howl and moan, When the storms are raging All around your door, You will see the sun once more. While the rose is blooming Love will never die, Hope is like a rainbow In the sky; Something to believe in, Something worth a fight, Something like a star In the cold, dark night. Chorus While the rose remains in bloom, Keep your spirits ever high; While it shines out in the gloom, Hope will never, ever die. While the rose remains in bloom, Keep the thought inside your head; While it shines out in the gloom, Hope is never, ever dead. Hope is never, never, ever dead.

4 Snowman There s nothing like the feeling When you jump from bed, And the world s all white Like a fancy loaf of bread; You ve just one thought A-buzzing round in your head! You re gonna build a snowman. You gobble up your porridge At a record rate, Then you step outside And the world is looking great; You pick up a shovel Cos you simply can t wait! You re gonna build a snowman. You add all the things that make him come to life, Section A carrot for a nose, A hat and umbrella will protect the little fella When the cold wind blows. There s nothing like the feeling When you jump from bed, And the world s all white Like a fancy loaf of bread; You ve just one thought A-buzzing round in your head! You re gonna build a snowman. A little snowman. A little snowman!

5 Travelling song Where it leads, who can know? Lonely the road that winds to the horizon, No place to go. Long the way, hard the track, Lonely the road that winds to the horizon, No turning back. Cold the day, dark the night, Will there ever be an end in sight? Bitter winds, skies of grey, Lonely the road that winds to the horizon, So far away. Frozen feet, frozen hands, Lonely the road that winds to the horizon, And distant lands. Bound to roam, all alone, Lonely is the road that leads from home. Wave goodbye, faithful friends, Who knows where the journey ends? Wave goodbye, faithful friends, Who knows if the journey ever ends?

6 The magical garden There is a garden, a magical garden, Carefully tended by fingers of green. Snowdrops and daffodils, poppies and bluebells, Wonderful colours you never have seen. Inside the walls there is peace and seclusion, Hard to resist when temptation is strong. Can you not see that it s all an illusion? Something about it is terribly wrong. Beware, Gerda, beware! section It s a trap! It s a snare! Once you walk through the gate You will never escape, And your journey will end in despair. Verse 3 There is a garden, a magical garden, Don t be drawn in by the look or the smell. The Witch of the Flowers has mystical powers, A wave of her hand and you re under her spell. A wave of her hand and you re under her spell.

7 The robbers song Chorus Here we come! Here we come! Here we come! Here we come! Here we come! Here we come! A twig cracks! A branch breaks! Deep in the forest where the moon don t go. An owl hoots! A mouse quakes! Deep in the forest where the moon don t go. Chorus Here we come! Here we come! Here we come! Here we come! Here we come! Here we come! A vole squeaks! A fox screams! Deep in the forest where the moon don t go. A boot creaks! A knife gleams! Deep in the forest where the moon don t go. Final chorus Here we come! Here we come! Here we come! Here we come! Here we come! NOW!
