FROSTY THE SNOWMAN

Steve Nelson and Jack Rollins

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
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

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 snowman
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.


"Frosty the Snowman" is a popular song written by Walter "Jack" Rollins and Steve Nelson, and first recorded by Gene Autry and the Cass County Boys in 1950. It was written after the success of Autry's recording of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" the previous year; Rollins and Nelson shipped the new song to Autry, who recorded "Frosty" in search of another seasonal hit. Like "Rudolph", "Frosty" was subsequently adapted to other media including a popular television special. The song was originally titled "Frosty the Snow Man".
