Frosty the Snowman

was a jolly happy soul,
with a corncob pipe and a button nose,
and two eyes made of coal.
Frosty the Snowman,
is a fairytale, they say.
He was made of snow,
how he came to life one day.
There must have been some magic in
that old silk they found,
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 children say
he could laugh and play,
just the same as you and me.
Frosty, clumsy as he can be
see him lopping along!
Off he goes on an icicle spree
with a happy song!
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,
Runnin' 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 only paused a moment,
when he heard him holler, "Stop!"
Hmm, 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!
The popular Christmas tune, Frosty the Snowman, tells the story of a snowman who comes to life and embarks on a playful adventure with a group of children who built him. The lyrics describe Frosty's jovial personality, highlighted by his corncob pipe, button nose, and coal eyes. Although his existence is considered a fairytale, the children who made him know the truth; he magically came to life the day they placed an old silk hat on his head. The song tells of Frosty's various escapades, including his clumsy yet cheerful way of moving, which is described as him "lopping" along. With a broomstick in hand, he leads the children through the town's streets, evading their attempts to catch him. However, Frosty's brief and exciting adventure is cut short when he realizes the sun is hot enough to melt him away. Thus, he bids the children goodbye, promising to return another day.
