Lyrics: "In the middle of the village was a household, A little different to the others they weren't as cold. So let's go down below to meet the only townsfolk made out of snow. He was a clown, you know loved pranking, bro suddenly pouncing making people round say 'OH!' His name was Bob and his daily job was guarding the town nightly at 8 o'clock. But Bob got so bored that he'd lob snowballs at the locals and although all snow that was thrown here was frozen nobody really thought it was so cool wasn't the most socially appropriate mode of approaching the folk who would go to the law court to report that he broke rules had a vote and of course they'd enforce he be stonewalled he was caged and afraid he would wave and say 'Hey' to the kids parents shaking their heads and they would make them look away just as if he didn't exist and so Bob made the decision to begin making amends said sorry Mama never meant to hit you never meant to make you cry so could I be freed now? I promise that I will throw no snow I'll go home keep it on the low low so this town isn't a no go zone no mo just a cup of cocoa and a ho ho ho no po po yo just a nice time ah. though uh-oh yo it's the night time ah. and once the sunset's done the undead come so be afraid they're such a hungry bunch they want to munch and eat your brains nowhere to run and hide no they'll just come inside where ever you put your bum they're going to come and find you but Bob noticed the bloody loud commotion would have dove in but wasn't allowed the townsfolk just forbode him it was foreboding to know that he couldn't go no chucking snow so he felt frozen the zombies closed in it was as though they were hunting for something enclosures were opened pumpkins were jumped there was no clear motive but phobia punching a pumpkin is odious Bob took umbrage at his bros being broken and broke those oaths that he won't throw snow he was ready to bury any undead in the area with a bo! bo! bo! Bo! BO! Go home, zombies ain't it obvious? we don't want them we got them good got them gone and with no problem so the folk bestowed honors and wrote heroic songs in honor of Bob the snow golem and although they were so fond of him doted on him they couldn't condone lobbing snow with no punishment he was thrown back inside like no burnham and was trapped in an iron and stone column no comment how could you live knowing you've done it? Have you no honor? Got me stuck in here 'til the mid summer? That's some folk horror folks want to go on about having free will 'til you put them in a crowd more than three then they're evil that's when Bob said: well than I'll be darned if I let the crowd mentality get me down I'm planning to throw down you turned me barbaric like a snowcone conan now feel the wrath of the snowman Brap! BRap! BRAP! Run home and close the doors I'm chucking frozen balls at you with no remorse you could have brokered peace but now you've chosen war I'll suffer no defeat 'til every person falls so every player be warned this is the perfect storm and 'til the weather's turning warm I'll lob those snowballs at the locals 'til there are no more."
