"Frosty the Snowman" is a popular song written by Walter "Jack" Rollins and Steve Nelson, and first recorded by Gene Autry and the Cass County Boys in 1950. It was written after the success of Autry's recording of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" the previous year; Rollins and Nelson shipped 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. The song was originally titled "Frosty the Snow Man."
Frosty the snowman
Happy, happy snowman
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
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
Frosty the snowman
Knew the sun was hot that day
So he said, "Let's run and we'll have
Some fun down 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 snowman
Had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye sayin' don't you cry
I'll be back again some day
Thumpaty, thumpaty, thumpaty, thumpaty
Thumpaty, thumpaty, thumpaty, thum
Just little kid, Frosty, go
Thumpaty, thumpaty, thumpaty, thumpaty
Thumpaty, thumpaty, thumpaty, thum
Over the hills of snow
Over the hills of snow
Over the hills of snow
Over the hills of snow
