Frosty the Snowman
Various [Incredible] Artists Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul
With a corn cop pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal

Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale, they say
He was made out of snow
But the children know how he came to life one day
There must of been some magic in
That ol' silk cap they found
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around

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 snow was hot that day
So he said, ?Let's run and have some fun before I melt away?
Down to the village with a broom stick in his hand
Runnin' here and there all around the square
Sayin' ?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

Frosty the snowman
Had to hurry on his way




But he waved goodbye sayin', ?Please don't cry
I'll be back again some day?
