Sell Me a Coat Lyrics

La la la la la la, la la la la la la la

 A winter's day, a bitter snowflake on my face 

 My summer girl takes little backward steps away 

 

 Jack Frost took her hand and left me, Jack Frost ain't so cool

 

 [CHORUS]

 Sell me a coat with buttons of silver

 Sell me a coat that's red or gold

 Sell me a coat with little patch pockets

 Sell me a coat 'cause I feel cold

 

 And when she smiles, the ice forgets to melt away

 

 Not like before, her smile was warming yesterday

 See the trees like silver candy, feel my icy hand

 

 [CHORUS]

 See my eyes, my window pane

 See my tears like gentle rain

 That's a memory of the summer day

 

 [CHORUS (twice)]

 La la la la la la [repeat]
