Frosty The Snowman
Miller Mitch 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 know
How he came to life one day
There must have been some magic
In that old silk hat 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 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
Saying 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
For Frosty the snowman had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye saying
Don't you cry, I'll be back again some day

Thumpetty thump thump, thumpety thump thump
Look at Frosty go




Thumpetty thump thump, thumpety thump thump
Over the hills of snow...
