Laying in it is on my mind
Moving my arms and legs around
What is it that I leave behind?

I have a wintry theme
I am shaped like a ball
Pick me up and shake me
Then watch all the flakes fall

What is it that can be seen?
At rest there is a whitened ground
When shaken, a wintry scene

Want to see something special?
Then just give me a few shakes
Put me down and watch the scene
Be transformed by falling flakes

But it’s something you shake
It’s a tiny little scene
With a winter landscape

And ornaments that look so fine
But you also need some strings of these
To help make sure that it will shine
