Frosty The Snowman
August Burns Red (Holiday) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With a broomstick in his hand
Running here and there all
Around the square saying
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
For Frosty the snow man
Had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye saying
"Don't you cry
I'll be back again some day"
Thumpetty thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Look at Frosty go
Thumpetty thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Over the hills of snow
The lyrics to August Burns Red's rendition of "Frosty the Snowman" are a playful and joyous retelling of the classic story of the beloved snowman who comes to life. In this verse, we see Frosty, broomstick in hand, playfully taunting the villagers, inviting them to catch him if they can. He leads them through the town, ultimately coming face-to-face with a traffic cop who tries to stop him in his tracks. But Frosty is undeterred, waving goodbye to the crowd and promising to return someday.
One interpretation of these lyrics is that they represent the joy and wonder of the holiday season. Frosty is a symbol of the childlike magic that can permeate the season, and his playful antics remind us to lighten up and not take ourselves too seriously. The fact that Frosty ultimately escapes the traffic cop and skips away over the hills of snow only adds to the whimsy and joy of the song.

Down to the village
Frosty the Snowman went to the village
With a broomstick in his hand
He carried a broomstick while going to the village
Running here and there all
He was moving around swiftly
Around the square saying
He proceeded around the village square while speaking
Catch me if you can
He challenged others to catch him
He led them down the streets of town
Frosty took them through the streets of town
Right to the traffic cop
Frosty went directly to the traffic police officer
And he only paused a moment when
When Frosty stopped for a moment
He heard him holler "Stop!"
He stopped when the officer yelled "Stop!"
For Frosty the snow man
This was all done for the sake of Frosty the Snowman
Had to hurry on his way
Frosty had to leave quickly
But he waved goodbye saying
Frosty said goodbye with a wave
"Don't you cry
He consoled his friends saying
I'll be back again some day"
He promised to return one day
Thumpetty thump thump
The sound of Frosty's footsteps
Thumpety thump thump
The sound of Frosty's footsteps
Look at Frosty go
Witness Frosty's departure
Thumpetty thump thump
The sound of Frosty's footsteps
Thumpety thump thump
The sound of Frosty's footsteps
Over the hills of snow
Frosty walked across the snowy hills
