Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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'Â ?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?

Frosty is described as a jolly happy soul with a corn cob pipe and a button nose, and two eyes made out of coal. He is a fairy tale, according to some, but the children know how he came to life one day thanks to magic. This magic was found in an old silk hat that was placed on his head, causing Frosty to come alive and dance around.
Frosty is described as being "alive as he could be" and just as capable of laughter and playfulness as any human child. He is aware of the heat of the day and wants to make the most of his time before he melts away. Along with a group of children, Frosty runs down to the village with a broomstick in his hand, playing games of "catch me if you can" and leading them through the streets of town.
