Frosty The Snowman
Toby Keith 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 fairy tale, 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
O, 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
Thumpetty thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Look at Frosty go
Thumpetty thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Over the hills of snow
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"
Thumpetty thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Look at Frosty go
Thumpetty thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Over the hills of snow
The song Frosty the Snowman is a classic Christmas song that tells a story of a magical snowman who comes to life due to the power of magic. Frosty is described as a jolly and happy soul who has a corncob pipe, a button nose, and two eyes made out of coal. The song notes that Frosty is nothing more than a fairy tale, but the children know that he came to life one day due to some magic that was found in an old silk hat.
As the song progresses, Frosty runs into trouble due to the sun melting him away. He invites the children to run around with him, down to the village with a broomstick in his hand. The villagers all try to catch him, but Frosty is too fast and ultimately leads them back to the traffic cop. The cop tells Frosty to stop, but he only pauses for a moment before continuing on his way. In the end, Frosty says goodbye to the children, promising that he will be back again someday.
