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
All forlorn, nowhere to go
Coats so thick, the sun don’t shine
Oh how I wish that coat were mine
To glad the heart so warm and fine
See his breath freeze in the air
Older, colder everywhere
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
Spring will come and rise again
Jack in the Green will bring his friends
Fight the fight, defy the foe
Old Jacky Frost, he will have to go
He’ll be back sooner than you know
