verse 1
Frosty the Snowman
Was a jolly happy soul
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal
Was a jolly happy soul
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal
verse 2
Frosty the Snowman
He is very pale they say
He was made of snow
But the children know
How he came to life one day
He is very pale they say
He was made of snow
But the children know
How he came to life one day
verse 3
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
In that old silk hat they found
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around
verse 4
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
Was alive as he could be
And the children say
He could laugh and play
Just the same as you and me
verse 5
Frosty the Snowman
Knew the sun was hot that day
So he said let's run
And we'll have some fun
Before I melt away
Knew the sun was hot that day
So he said let's run
And we'll have some fun
Before I melt away
verse 6
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
With a broomstick in his hand
Running here and there all around the square
Saying catch me if you can
verse 7
He led them down the streets of town
Right to the traffic cops
And he only paused a moment when
He heard him holler stop
Right to the traffic cops
And he only paused a moment when
He heard him holler stop
verse 8
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
Had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye
Saying don't you cry
I'll be back again some day

"Frosty the Snowman" is a popular Christmas song written by Walter "Jack" Rollins and Steve Nelson, and first recorded by Gene Autry and the Cass County Boys in 1950 and later recorded by Jimmy Durante in that year. It was written after the success of Autry's recording of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" the previous year; Rollins and Nelson shopped 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.
A group of children find a hat and place it on Frosty's head. Frosty laughs and plays with the children until the hot sun threatens to melt him. Frosty says goodbye to the children, reassuring them, "I'll be back again someday."
It is generally regarded as a Christmas song, although Christmas itself is never mentioned in the lyrics. The action supposedly takes place in White Plains, New York, or Armonk, New York; Armonk has a parade dedicated to Frosty annually.
The song was quickly covered by many artists including Jimmy Durante, Nat King Cole and Guy Lombardo. The versions by Nat King Cole and Guy Lombardo also reached the American charts. A Phil Spector-produced 1963 cover by The Ronettes is a popular version, featuring in Rolling Stone's list of "The Greatest Rock & Roll Christmas Songs".
The song has been covered as an instrumental by the Canadian Brass, with founder Charles Daellenbach taking on the persona of Frosty, and repeatedly calling "One more time!" ("You know what happens when Frosty gets 'hot'"), and then starting to collapse ("I think he's melting" -- "You know what happens when Frosty gets hot"). It was also covered by the Hampton String Quartet on their inaugural album, What if Mozart Wrote 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas'. It was also recorded by American Brass.
The song has also been covered (with lyrics) by the band Cocteau Twins; the cover was released on their 1993 EP Snow. It was also covered by the Jackson 5 and appears on the Jackson 5 Christmas Album.
