Frosty the Snowman
TheĀ Ronettes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Was a happy, jolly 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 him holler "Stop!"
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."
(Frosty the snowman) Ohh-ohh
(Frosty the snowman) Ohh-ohh
(Frosty the snowman) Oh
(Frosty the snowman) Oh-oh
(Frosty the snowman) Ohh, oh-oh
(Frosty the snowman) Oh, yeah
(Frosty the snowman) Don't die, oh-ohh
(Frosty the snowman) Oh, yeah

Released in 1990
I saw it for the first time in 2008!!!!
(I was born in 1989)
And the ONLY reason I found out about it was from a trip down memory lane , looking up one of my favorite cartoons from my childhood in the 90s: ANIMANIACS!!
Upon reading about the different segments
" The GOODFEATHERS š¦ š¦ š¦ was recurring segment of Animaniacs , that consisted of a pigeon trio that were obvious pigeon parodies of Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, and Ray Liotta's roles in GOODFELLAS.
I Googled the movie, and the poster caught my eye! I had only known Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci from comedy roles ( Meet the Parents & Fockers
And Home Alone respectively)
So when I seen the rating and the word FUCK is used hundreds of times , that it was a violent movie.....
Eventually saw it, scared to death of De Niro and especially PESCI!!!
But....it was an insanely awesome movie!!
So Animaniacs was even better to look at again...from a different perspective!
It was cooler than what I remember.
As a kid, Cartoons are always entertaining. When you get older, some jokes or content make you wonder if cartoons are really for children,
When they make parodies/ references to R rated movies definitely not intended for kids.
