Children playing in the snow  
<song>
Further out than they should go,
Children playing in the snow  
Saw a stranger walking near –
Further out than they should go,
Never stopped to think or fear.
Saw a stranger walking near –
Never stopped to think or fear.


CHORUS
CHORUS
Hair like snow, eyes that gleam,
Hair like snow, eyes that gleam,
Things aren’t always what they seem.
Things aren’t always what they seem.
Teeth too long, hands too thin –
Teeth too long, hands too thin –
Always look beneath the skin!
Always look beneath the skin!


Greetings children, the woman said,
Greetings children, the woman said,
It’s so cold, I’m chilled near dead,
It’s so cold, I’m chilled near dead,
Where’s your camp and family, too?
Where’s your camp and family, too?
Won’t you take me home with you?
Won’t you take me home with you?


CHORUS
CHORUS


Long white hair and eyes like ice,
Long white hair and eyes like ice,
She spoke so fair she seemed so nice;
She spoke so fair she seemed so nice;
Foolish children did not ask,
Foolish children did not ask,
Why she set them such a task.
Why she set them such a task.


CHORUS
CHORUS


They did not wait to find a guard,
They did not wait to find a guard,
They led her straight to their own yard.
They led her straight to their own yard.
They did not think to ask their kin,
They did not think to ask their kin,
They brought her home and let her in.
They brought her home and let her in.


CHORUS
CHORUS


And when she was well hid inside,
And when she was well hid inside,
Then she cast off her human hide.
Then she cast off her human hide.
Her fangs grew long, her claws sprang free –
Her fangs grew long, her claws sprang free –
A hungry fierce snow beast was she!
A hungry fierce snow beast was she!


CHORUS
CHORUS


And all that night through every tent
And all that night through every tent
She stalked and slaughtered as she went.
She stalked and slaughtered as she went.
When the sun raised up his head,
When the sun raised up his head,
Half of all that tribe lay dead.
Half of all that tribe lay dead.


CHORUS
CHORUS


For pretty words and pretty whiles
For pretty words and pretty whiles
And pretty looks and pretty smiles –
And pretty looks and pretty smiles –
Those folks where slain and scattered all,
Those folks where slain and scattered all,
Because they let their caution fall.
Because they let their caution fall.


Hair like snow, eyes that gleam,
Hair like snow, eyes that gleam,
Things aren’t always what they seem.
Things aren’t always what they seem.
Teeth too long, hands too thin –
Teeth too long, hands too thin –
Always look beneath the skin!
Always look beneath the skin!
Always look beneath the skin!
Always look beneath the skin!

Children playing in the snow Further out than they should go, Saw a stranger walking near – Never stopped to think or fear.

CHORUS Hair like snow, eyes that gleam, Things aren’t always what they seem. Teeth too long, hands too thin – Always look beneath the skin!

Greetings children, the woman said, It’s so cold, I’m chilled near dead, Where’s your camp and family, too? Won’t you take me home with you?

CHORUS

Long white hair and eyes like ice, She spoke so fair she seemed so nice; Foolish children did not ask, Why she set them such a task.

CHORUS

They did not wait to find a guard, They led her straight to their own yard. They did not think to ask their kin, They brought her home and let her in.

CHORUS

And when she was well hid inside, Then she cast off her human hide. Her fangs grew long, her claws sprang free – A hungry fierce snow beast was she!

CHORUS

And all that night through every tent She stalked and slaughtered as she went. When the sun raised up his head, Half of all that tribe lay dead.

CHORUS

For pretty words and pretty whiles And pretty looks and pretty smiles – Those folks where slain and scattered all, Because they let their caution fall.

Hair like snow, eyes that gleam, Things aren’t always what they seem. Teeth too long, hands too thin – Always look beneath the skin! Always look beneath the skin!
