The groundhog chuckled as he ran back down the stairs. He quickly changed into his pajamas and crawled back into bed.
"Ah, six more weeks, thanks Jack. Yes, that shadow was from Jack Frost, not me. He gets six more weeks of winter, and I get six more weeks of shut-eye. A pretty good deal, huh? Well of course you never saw him, he's invisible, except for his shadow. No one has ever seen Jack Frost, unless you include that one time that he became human. Now you might never have seen him, but you have seen his work.
You wake up one morning and you know that something's new
The windowpanes are frosted and the sky's a blinding blue
There's not a bird out singing and the ground is white with snow
You can see the words come puffing out when you say your first hello
You know who's been there and I think it's really nice
To feel the morning through the glass where the dew has turned to ice.
He's nipping at your nose
You can feel him in your toes
A shiver and a tear
Let's you know Jack Frost is here!
If you try to turn around (Jack Frost)
When you hear his icy sound (Jack Frost)
He's sure to disappear
But you know Jack Frost is here (Listen, listen)
You can hear him spreading winter as he goes (Jack Frost, Jack Frost)
(music)
If you try to turn around (Jack Frost)
When you hear his icy sound (Jack Frost)
He's sure to disappear
But you know (Yes you know), then you know Jack Frost is here."
"A long time ago, in a little town called January Junction, the peasants were particularly fond of Jack Frost. You see, they were ruled by a greedy tyrant named Kubla Kraus who had taken all of the timber and the money of the people, so they had come up with a system for winter. That's why they loved Jack Frost, when he came, he made icicles, and the people took those icicles and made them into ice coins. They were rich again, until the spring melted everything. But our story starts really when one of the village girls, a lovely girl by the name of Rapunzel, said that she loved Jack Frost and would only marry him or a knight in golden armour."
