Lyrics
Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul,
Frosty, depicted as a joyful snowman
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
Description of Frosty's features: a corncob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal.
His eyes were made of coal
Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale, they say,
Frosty is considered a fictional story
He was made of snow but the children
Although made of snow, children believe he came to life
Know how he came to life one day.
Explains the belief in how Frosty became alive
There must have been some magic in that
Suggests magical qualities in the old silk hat that animated Frosty
Old silk hat they found.
Upon wearing the hat, Frosty began to move and dance
For when they placed it on his head
When the hat was placed on Frosty's head, it initiated his animation
He began to dance around.
Frosty started to dance upon wearing the hat
O, Frosty the snowman
Description of Frosty's lively state
Was alive as he could be,
Portrays Frosty as alive and vibrant
And the children say he could laugh
Children believe Frosty could exhibit human emotions like laughter and playfulness
And play just the same as you and me.
Similarities drawn between Frosty and humans regarding behavior
Thumpetty thump thump,
Repeated lines describing Frosty's movement over snow-covered hills
Thumpety thump thump,
-Look at Frosty go.
-Thumpetty thump thump,
-Thumpety thump thump,
-Over the hills of snow.
-Frosty the snowman knew
Frosty was aware of the warmth of the sun
The sun was hot that day,
Describes the heat of the day
So he said, "Let's run and
Frosty suggests enjoying time before melting due to the heat
We'll have some fun
-Now before I melt away."
-Down to the village,
Frosty's playful interaction with the village, inviting them to chase him
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
Frosty encounters a traffic cop but continues despite the interruption
Right to the traffic cop.
-And he only paused a moment when
-He heard him holler "Stop!"
-For Frosty the snow man
Frosty's departure, promising to return someday despite the inevitability of melting
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,
Repetition of lines describing Frosty's movement over snow-covered hills
Thumpety thump thump,
-Look at Frosty go.
-Thumpetty thump thump,
-Thumpety thump thump,
-Over the hills of snow
