Frosty the Snowman
Spector Phil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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)
(Frosty the snowman)
He led them down the streets of town
Right to the traffic cop
And he only paused a moment when
He heard them holler "Stop!"
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"
Oh, oh, oh oh, man
Oh, oh oh (Frosty the snowman)
Oh, (Frosty the snowman), oh oh (Frosty the snowman), oh yeah
(Frosty the snowman) don't cry, oh oh (Frosty the snowman), oh yeah
(Frosty the snowman) oh yeah, don't you cry
The song "Frosty the Snowman" by Phil Spector tells the story of a happy snowman who comes to life through some unknown magical means.

The song emphasizes the power of the old silk hat, which sparked Frosty's magical transformation. The lyrics suggest that there was something special about the hat that caused the snowman to come to life, and once he began dancing and playing with the children, he was just as joyful as any other human child. As the song progresses, Frosty winds up leading the children through town, even stopping traffic along the way, and ultimately departing with a promise to come back.

I was a kid in New York and my window backed onto a rehearsal room, first sound I heard in NY was Spector's. Love the crazy full on arrangements.

Was the rehearsal room rented in your mother-in-law's name?
