Sit here beside me, please listen well
Try to imagine the story I tell

Grandpa and Heidi, Peter and goats
Lived on a mountain all covered with snow
Together they lived in a cave or they'd freeze
Peter would play on his pipe, they were pleased

Living on cheese and milk, berries and nuts
For these mountain gypsies was more than enough
Grandpa was dying, cause he was so aged
Heidi took care of this old mountain sage

Chorus:
Peter is piping what Grandpa has growled
Heidi has written on top of Jungfrau
The mystery unfolded for children to see
The story of Snowman and why he was free

Grandpa the Snowman, or so was his name
Was considered by most to be madly insane
He roared like a lion and they'd run away
Except for the daughters who wanted to stay
Yes, the little girls wanted to love him all night
They'd love him till he couldn't muster his might
But only dear Heidi would stay by his side
She loved him more than all the other brides

[Repeat Chorus]

Grandpa was buried beneath an old tree
His legend lives on like a great mystery
But Heidi has written a book of his life
To share with the grandchildren after he died
Words of his wisdom will give you the key
If you climb that mountain and listen you'll see

[Repeat Chorus]
