C
Frosty the Snow Man
F C
was a jolly happy soul
F C
With a corn-cob pipe and a button nose
F G7
and two eyes made out of coal.
C
Frosty the Snow Man
F C
is a fairy tale they say
F F#dim C Am
He was made of snow but the children know
F G7 C
how he came to life one day.
F Em
There must have been some magic in
Dm G7 C
that old silk hat they found,
G E
For when they put it on his head
Am D G7
he began to dance around.
C
Oh, Frosty the Snow Man
F C
was alive as he could be,
F F#dim C Am
And the children say he could laugh and play
F G C
just the same as you and me.
Frosty the Snow Man 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!"
Frosty the Snow Man had to hurry on his way,
But he waved good-bye, saying, "Don't you cry;
I'll be back again some day."
C
Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump,
G7
Look at Frosty go.
Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump,
C
Over the hills of snow.
