Frost y the Snow Man was a (F)jol ly hap py (C)soul,

with a (F)corn cob pipe and a (C)but ton nose and two (G7)eyes made out of (C)coal.

Frost y the Snow Man is a (F)fair y tale they (C)say;

he was (F)made of (F#dim)snow, but the (C)chil dren (A7)know how he (Dm7)came to (G)life one (C)day.

There (F)must have (Fm)been some (Em)mag ic (A7)in that (Dm)old silk (G7)hat they (C)found,

for (G)when they placed it on his head, he be (Am7)gan to (D)dance a (G7)round.

Oh, (C)Frost y the Snow Man was a (F)live as (F#dim)he could (C)be,

and the (F)chil dren (F#m)say he could (C)laugh and (A7)play just the (Dm7)same as (G)you and (C)me.

Frost y the Snow Man knew the (F)sun was hot that (C)day.

So he (F)said, “Let’s run and we’ll (C)have some fun now be (G7)fore I melt a (C)way.”

Down to the vil lage with a (F)broom stick in his (C)hand,

run ning (F)here and (F#dim)there all a (C)round the (A7)square, say in’, (Dm7)“Catch me (G)if you (C)can.”

He (F)led them (Fm)down the (Em)streets of (A7)town to (Dm)left and (G7)to the (C)right.

He (G)ran so fast he dis ap peared, yep, be (Am7)he was (D)out of (G7)sight.

For (C)Frost y the Snow Man had to (F)hur ry (F#dim)on his (C)way,

but he (F)waved good (F#m)bye, say in’, (C)“Don’t you (A7)cry; I’ll be (Dm7)back a (G)gain some (C)me.

(C)day.”

Thump e ty thump thump, thump e ty thump thump, look at Frost y (G)go!

Thump e ty thump thump, thump e ty thump thump, o ver the hills of (C)snow!
