Frosty the Snowman
Patti Page Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul
With his 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
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 snow man
Had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye saying don't you cry
I'll be back again some day

Thumpity thump thump, thumpity thump thump
Look at Frosty go




Thumpity thump thump, thumpity thump thump
Over the hills of snow
