Snow's comin' down Like powdered sugar in the night Moon River's a mirror Shining silver Pure and bright Old Pierre's out fishin' Claims he's catchin' frozen trout I ain't seen no fish But he's hollerin' all about [Chorus] Oh Winter on Moon River It’s a wonderland for fools With fiddles playin' magic And the snow breaks all the rules We dance and we laugh ‘neath the stars that shine and shiver A frosty kind of heaven Winter on Moon River [Verse 2] The gators wearin' mittens I swear I saw it with my eyes A possum in a snowman hat Winkin’ at me from the ice Harmonica wails sweetly Like a winter bird in song Accordion's laughin' Keeps the party rollin’ strong [Prechorus] And the wind whispers secrets Through the cypress trees "Stay and play Don’t leave." [Chorus] Oh Winter on Moon River It’s a wonderland for fools With fiddles playin' magic And the snow breaks all the rules We dance and we laugh ‘neath the stars that shine and shiver A frosty kind of heaven Winter on Moon River [Bridge] Icicles drippin’ Like chandeliers on the bayou The swamp’s got a sparkle Oh It’s a Christmas rendezvous Pierre’s jug’s got whiskey Says it keeps his toes from cold I just think it’s courage for his fishin’ tales he’s told
