Just for Kids – Frosty the Snowman
In 1950, the singing cowboy, Gene Autry recorded the tune, “Frosty the Snowman” and it was an instant hit. He had also had previous success with the now classic “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer”. (see below to read the words of the classic Christmas song – Frosty.)
Four years later, WGN-TV in Chicago, broadcast a 3-minute holiday short, that brought Frosty the Snowman to life.
In 1969, a 30-minute television cartoon was broadcast and is today, an annual holiday classic.
Adventure Theater in suburban Glen Echo, Maryland bring to live the story of how the mischievous Frosty comes to life, thanks to a magical top het, and quickly becomes everyone’s favorite snowman.

Frosty the Snowman
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.
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 to the traffic cop.
And he only paused a moment when
He heard him holler ‘Stop!’
For 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.’
Thumpety thump thump,
Thumpety thump thump,
Look at Frosty go.
Thumpety thump thump,
Thumpety thump thump,
Over the hills of snow. _________________________________________________
