Humidity Built the Snowman Songtext
von John Prine

Does he still think about her? Why there was never really any doubt
Every time he lights a candle or blows a candle out
The scientific nature of the ordinary man
Is to go on out and do the best you can

I don′t think that you know that I think you don't know
That old barometer goes crazy, baby, every time it starts to snow
You won′t find me walking, 'round your part of town
Humidity built the Snowman, sunshine brought him down


This world is full of people, they never seem to fall
Somebody said they seen you, you hadn't changed at all
The fundamental story of the contemporary man
Is to walk away and someday understand

I don′t think that you know that I think you don′t know
That old barometer goes crazy, baby, every time it starts to snow
You won't find me walking, ′round your part of town
Humidity built the Snowman, sunshine brought him down

The scientific nature of the ordinary man
Is to go on out and do the best you can


I don't think that you know that I think you don′t know
That old barometer goes crazy, baby, every time it starts to snow
You won't find me walking, ′round your part of town
Humidity built the Snowman, sunshine brought him down
Humidity built the Snowman, sunshine brought him down
Brought him down, brought him down
