Frosty The Snowman
Beegie Adair Trio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal
Frost the snowman is a fairy tale they say
He was made of snow but the children know
How he came to life one day
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 someday"
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
Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal
The song “Frosty the Snowman” is a classic Christmas carol about a snowman that comes to life. The first verse describes Frosty as a jolly happy soul, made complete with a corncob pipe and a button nose, and two eyes made out of coal. Although some consider Frosty a fairy tale, the children know how he came to life one day. The magic behind Frosty’s animation appears to come from an old silk hat found. When the children place the silk hat on Frosty’s head, he begins to dance around, much to the children’s delight.
The second verse describes how Frosty lived, laughed, and played very much like humans. Although winter’s sun was slowly melting him away, he took the children on a fun expedition to the village, where they ran here and there, all around the square, and played catch-me-if-you-can. Frosty even led the merry troop through the street of town right to the traffic cop, giving the villagers reason to marvel at the sight of a talking snowman. The traffic cop only paused for a moment when he saw Frosty go because he knew that Frosty would be back again someday.
