Chorus: Old Jacky Frost is knockin’ at the door (Don’t let him in, no way sir) Old Jacky Frost, been here before (Don’t let him in, no way sir) Whether you’re rich or whether you’re poor He’ll come knockin’ all around your door Give him a chance, he’ll be in for sure (Don’t let him in, no way sir) Summer’s lost and the winter’s come (Don’t let him in, no way sir) Days are short and the nights are long (Don’t let him in, no way sir) Hear him knocking, don’t complain See his star on the window pane Comes the winter, come what may (Don’t let him in, no way sir) See the sheep in the winter snow (Don’t let him in, no way sir) All forlorn, nowhere to go (Don’t let him in, no way sir) Coats so thick, the sun don’t shine Oh how I wish that coat were mine To glad the heart so warm and fine (Don’t let him in, no way sir) See his breath freeze in the air (Don’t let him in, no way sir) Older, colder everywhere (Don’t let him in, no way sir) Head bowed down, he’ll make you pray For the warmth and pleasure of a summer’s day Old Jacky Frost, he’ll be far away (Don’t let him in, no way sir) Spring will come and rise again (Don’t let him in, no way sir) Jack in the Green will bring his friends (Don’t let him in, no way sir) Fight the fight, defy the foe Old Jacky Frost, he will have to go He’ll be back sooner than you know (Don’t let him in, no way sir)
