Frosty The Snowman
Jackson 5 (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 fairy tale they say
He was made of snow but the children all know
How he came to life one day
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around
Oh
Frosty the snowman
Was alive as he could be
And the kids all say he could laugh
And play just the same as you and me
Frosty oh yeah, yeah, yeah (frosty, frosty the snowman) the snowman yeah yeah yeah
He led them down the streets of town
Right to the traffic cop
And he only paused a moment
When heard him holler
Stop, stop, stop
Frosty the snow man
Had the hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye saying
Don't you cry
I'll be back again some day
Thumpetty thump thump (frosty, frosty the snowman)
Frosty the snowman
Thumpetty thump thump (frosty, frosty the snowman)
Frosty the snowman
Thumpetty thump thump (frosty, frosty the snowman)
Frosty the snowman
Thumpetty thump thump (frosty, frosty the snowman)
The Jackson 5 version of "Frosty the Snowman" is a cheerful and upbeat take on the classic Christmas song. The lyrics describe Frosty as a "jolly happy soul" with a "corncob pipe and a button nose, and two eyes made out of coal." He is said to be a fairy tale, but the children all know how he came to life one day. The magic in his silk hat is what brought him to life, and he began to dance around as soon as it was placed on his head.
The song goes on to describe how Frosty led the children down the streets of town, eventually coming to a traffic cop who yelled "stop, stop, stop." But Frosty was in a hurry and had to continue on his way, promising the children that he would be back again someday. The chorus repeats throughout the song, with the Jackson 5 adding their own unique touch to this beloved holiday classic.
Overall, "Frosty the Snowman" is a fun and lighthearted song that captures the joyful spirit of the Christmas season. It celebrates the magic of childhood and the joy of believing in something that may seem impossible, reminding us all to keep the childlike wonder alive in our hearts.

@Musiclover60 Michael was basically the frontman. You don't think Jackson 5 without thinking Michael Jackson. Plus the fact that he's the only one of them that's died makes it all the more sentimental for him.

YoU know, there was Christmas music which connected me to the Holidays more than the Fab Five. But it was also in our family collection way back in the "Dark Ages" of 1969-70. MJ as always was the star voice...what a voice!
