Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Who's debonair with the tall silk hat?
Muffler of wool and a tummy that's fat?
King for a day and he loves the role
With a broomstick cane and a heart of gold
[Chorus]
That's Frosty the Snowman
He's a jolly, happy soul
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal
Frosty the Snowman
Is a fairytale, they say
He was made of snow, but the children know
How he came to life one day
[Verse 2]
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 (Charleston, Charleston)
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
Oh, 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"
[Verse 3]
So, 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!"
[Bridge]
For Frosty the Snowman
Had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye, saying "Don't you cry
I'll be back again someday" (Hey, listen)
[Outro]
Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump
Look at Frosty go (Hey, look at him)
Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump
Over the hills of snow
