Frosty The Snowman
Zee Avi Lyrics


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 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.
For when they placed it on his head
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

Overall Meaning

The song starts off by describing Frosty as a jolly happy soul, made of snow, with a corncob pipe, a button nose, and two eyes made out of coal. The children know the story about how he came to life one day and they believe there must have been some magic in the old silk hat they found. When they put the hat on Frosty's head he began to dance around, coming alive as a real snowman. The children say that he could laugh and play just like any other person.


As the song progresses, Frosty realizes that the sun is hot that day and he's going to melt away soon. So, he leads the children down to the village with a broomstick in his hand. He runs around saying, "Catch me if you can!" and leads them down the streets of town right to the traffic cop.
