Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Frosty the snowman
Was a jolly happy soul
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal
Frosty the snowman
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
'Cause 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
There must have been some magic in
That old silk hat they found
'Cause when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around
Oh, 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
