Frosty the Snowman
Raffi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With a corn cob 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
That ol' 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 broom stick 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 he only paused a moment when he heard him holler stop or
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
"Frosty the Snowman" is a beloved Christmas song about a snowman that comes to life. The lyrics describe Frosty's features, including his corn cob pipe, button nose, and coal eyes. The children in the song know that Frosty is a fairy tale, but they still believe he is alive. The magic that brings Frosty to life is associated with an old silk hat found by the children. Once the hat is placed on Frosty's head, he begins to dance and come to life. Making Frosty the Snowman alive allows him to do what every child does: laugh and play. He even knows when the sun is hot enough to melt him and hurries across the village.
Line by Line Meaning
Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul
Frosty was a cheerful and lively snowman
With a corn cob pipe and a button nose
He had a pipe made of corn cob and a nose made of buttons
And two eyes made out of coal
His eyes were made of coal
'Frosty the snowman' is a fairy tale they say
Some consider the story of Frosty to be a fictional fantasy
He was made of snow
Frosty's body was composed entirely of snow
But the children know how he came to life one day
Children have a special understanding of how Frosty came to be animate
There must have been some magic in
It's likely that there was something enchanted about
That ol' silk hat they found
The antique top hat they discovered
For when they placed it on his head
When they put it on top of his head
He began to dance around, oh
He started moving in a rhythmic, lively fashion
Frosty the snowman was alive as he could be
Frosty was full of vitality and spirit
And the children say, he could laugh and play
Children affirm that he had the ability to be joyful and entertaining
Just the same as you and me
He had similar qualities to regular people
Frosty the snowman knew the sun was hot that day
Frosty was aware of how warm it was outside that day
So he said, Let's run and we'll have some fun
He suggested the group go for a jog and enjoy themselves
Now before I melt away
Before he completely dissolves
Down to the village with a broom stick in his hand
Frosty brought a broomstick with him as he walked to the village
Runnin' here and there all around the square
He dashed around the town square in all directions
Sayin', Catch me if you can
He teased those following him to try and catch him
He led them down the streets of town
Frosty showed them the way through the streets of the city
Right to the traffic cop
They walked until they met a traffic police officer
And he only paused a moment when he heard him holler stop or
When the cop shouted 'stop,' Frosty momentarily stopped moving
Frosty the snowman had to hurry on his way
Frosty had to depart quickly
But he waved goodbye sayin', Don't you cry
He said farewell as he gestured, 'Don't be sad'
I'll be back again some day
He promised he'd return at a later date
Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump
A description of the sound of Frosty's footsteps
Look at Frosty go
Marvel at how quickly Frosty is moving
Over the hills of snow
Frosty traveled across wintry hills
