Well look, see, there's an abominable snowman in the supermarket

And, apparently, the housewives have never seen anything like that before
Hear the housewives complaing to the manager,
          C          D           G
"Get that snow thing out of this store."

Abominable snowman in the market,
C                 D               G
That's right, you heard me right, gang.
G 
And the housewives, they all remarking,
              C          D           G
"Looks like a dirty marshmallow with fangs."


VERSE:
                  G
Well, there's an abominable snowman in the market,
         C           D        G
Now he's down by the peas and carrots.
 G
Abominable snowman in the market.
         C      D          G
And they cannot chase him away.

VERSE:
                 G
See, there's an abominable snowman in the market,
        C   D        G
And the situation is grave.
          G
Well, the housewives hurt and confuse him,
      C             D            G
And I can't see him treated this way.


VERSE:
                  G
Well, there's an abominable snowman in the market,
      C            D         G
And I think he's a real nice guy.
  G
I like the snowman, I want to help him out,
  C             D                 G
I don't want to see him hurt this way.

  G
I know it's helped him to have a more tolerant feeling.
      C               D            G
And I like to see him treated this way.
