Frosty the Snowman
Hank Snow · The Singing Ranger, Vol. 3 [Bear Family (Germany)] [1994]
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 was a fairy tale they say
He was made of snow but the children know how he come 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.
--- Instrumental ---
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 up to the traffic cop
And he only paused a moment when he heard him holler stop
Frosty the snowman had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye sayin' please don't you cry
I'll be back again some day...
