Frosty the Snowman
Alvin And The Chipmunks (Holiday) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Frosty the Snowman was a jolly happy soul
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal

Frosty the Snowman is a fairytale they say
He was made of snow but the children know
How he came to life one day
There must have been some magic
In that old silk hat they found
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around

Frosty the Snowman was alive as he could be
And the children say he could laugh and play
Just the same as you and me, come on

Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump
Look at Frosty go
Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump
Over the hills of snow

Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump
Look at Frosty go
Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump
Over the hills of snow

Oh Frosty the Snowman knew the sun was hot that day
So he said, "Let's run and we'll have some fun
Now before I melt away"

Down to the village with a broomstick in his hand
Running here and there, all around the square
Sayin', "Catch me if you can!"

He led them down the streets of town
Right to the traffic cop
And he only paused a moment
When he heard him holler, "Stop!"

Hey, Frosty the Snowman had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye, sayin', "Don't you cry
I'll be back again some day"

Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump
Look at Frosty go
Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump
Over the hills of snow





He'll be back, yes he will, again someday
See you next year Frosty!
