Full Lyrics
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
Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Look at Frosty go
Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Over the hills of snow
About This Song
Frosty the Snowman is a cheerful Christmas and winter classic about a magical snowman brought to life by an enchanted silk hat. Written in 1950 by Walter "Jack" Rollins and Steve Nelson, it was created to follow the huge success of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and first recorded by Gene Autry.
Kids love Frosty for his happy personality, the fun "thumpety thump" sounds (great for marching or dancing!), and the joyful story of playing in the snow before he melts away. It's perfect for winter crafts, school sing-alongs, and imagining snowy adventures.
The song inspired a beloved 1969 animated TV special narrated by Jimmy Durante, making Frosty a holiday staple alongside Rudolph and Santa.
