Frosty the Snowman
Kidzone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With a corn cob pipe and a button nose, and two eyes made of coal.
Frosty the Snowman, is a fairytale, they say.
He was made of snow, but the children know he came to life one day.
There must have been some magic in that old silk hat they found,
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.
Thumpety thump, thump, thumpety thump, thump,
look at Frosty go.
Thumpety thump, thump, thumpety thump, thump,
over the hills of snow.
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 only paused a moment, when he heard him holler, "Stop!"
For Frosty, the Snowman, had to hurry on his way,
But he waved goodbye, sayin' "Don't cry, I'll be back again some day."

Frosty is known to be a fairytale according to adults, but children know he was alive to play and laugh.
The lyrics indicate that Frosty was cautious about the sun's heat that day and suggested running and having fun before he melted away. The snowman was very playful and led the children down to the village, where he ran around with a broomstick in his hand, saying, "Catch me if you can."
