Frosty The Snowman
Carl Cotner/Cass County Boys/Gene Autry Lyrics

Frosty the Snowman
The singer of this story is a snowman

Was a jolly happy soul
Frosty is a happy and cheerful character

With a corncob pipe and a button nose
Frosty has a corncob pipe and a button nose as part of his physical makeup

And his eyes made out of coal
Frosty's eyes are made of coal, a common material used in making snowmen

Made the children laugh and play
Frosty brought joy to the children's lives and made them play

And were they surprised when
The children were amazed when

Before their eyes
Right in front of them

He came to life that day
Frosty magically came to life on that day

There must have been some magic
Some kind of enchantment or supernatural power must have been responsible for Frosty's animation

In that old silk hat they found
The old silk hat that the children found must have contained this magical power

For when they placed it on his head
When the children put the hat on Frosty's head

He began to dance around
Frosty started to dance and move

Was alive as he could be
Frosty was alive in every sense of the word

And the children say
According to the children

He could laugh and play
Frosty had the ability to laugh and play

Just the same as you and me
Frosty was just as human-like as you and I

Knew the sun was hot that day
Frosty was aware of the heat from the sun on that particular day

So he said let's run
Frosty suggested that they should run

And we'll have fun
They could have fun by running

Now before I melt away
Frosty knew that he would melt soon and wanted to enjoy the time he had left

Down to the village
Frosty and the children went from their location to the nearby village

With a broomstick in his hand
Frosty carried a broomstick in his hand

Running here and there all around the square
Frosty was very active, constantly moving around the village square

Saying catch me if you can
Frosty challenged the children to catch him, adding to the fun

He led them down the streets of town
Frosty took the children on a tour of the town's streets

Right to the traffic cop
Their journey led them to the town's traffic cop

And he only paused a moment when
Frosty only stopped for a brief moment

He heard him holler stop
The traffic cop told Frosty to stop

Had to hurry on his way
Frosty had to leave quickly

But he waved goodbye
Frosty said farewell

Saying don't you cry
He assured the children not to be sad

I'll be back again some day
Frosty promised to return one day in the future

Thumpety thump thump
The sound of Frosty moving along

Look at Frosty go
The children watching Frosty's movements in amazement

Over the hills of snow
Frosty disappeared into the snowy distance, continuing his journey
