Thumpety, thump, thump, thumpety, thump, thump

Look at Frosty go

Thumpety thump thump, over the hills of snow.

Oh, over the hills of snow.

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.

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

Runnin’ here and there

all around the square

Sayin’, ”Catch me if you can!”

He led them down the streets of town

right to the traffic cop.

He only paused a moment

when he heard him holler, “Stop!”

Because ol’ Frosty, the snowman,

he had to hurry on his way

But he waved goodbye sayin’,

”Don’t you cry

I’ll be back again some day.”
