Frosty The Snowman
Songs For Children Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
and two eyes made out of coal
Frosty the snowman is a fairytale 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
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 snow man
had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye saying
Don't you cry
I'll be back again some day
