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,
"Get that snow thing out of this store."
Abominable snowman in the market,
That's right, you heard me right, gang.
And the housewives, they all remarking,
"Looks like a dirty marshmallow with fangs."
Well, there's an abominable snowman in the market,
Now he's down by the peas and carrots.
Abominable snowman in the market.
And they cannot chase him away.
Abominable snowman in the market.
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Abominable snowman in the market.
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
See, there's an abominable snowman in the market,
And the situation is grave.
Well, the housewives hurt and confuse him,
And I can't see him treated this way.
Well, there's an abominable snowman in the market,
And I think he's a real nice guy.
I like the snowman, I want to help him out,
I don't want to see him hurt this way.
Well, Abominable snowman in the market.
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Abominable snowman in the market.
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Look, we have to talk to this abominable snowman man.
And we have to say something that he can understand.
There's an abominable snowman in the market,
And he's doin' better every day.
I know it's helped him to have a more tolerant feeling.
And I like to see him treated this way.
Well, there's an abominable snowman in the market,
And he's down by the peas and carrots.
There's an abominable snowman in the market,
And that is what I now say.
Abominable snowman in the market, all right
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Abominable snowman in the market
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
There's an abominable snowman in the market
Down by the peas and carrots.
Abominable snowman in the market
He just arrived by plane yesterday.
There's an abominable snowman in the market
And the housewives never seen something like that before.
Housewives treat him like a stranger,
They want him away from the supermark't door.
Abominable snowman in the market.
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Abominable snowman in the market.
