Frosty the Snow Man is a

How he

Just the

[C]

Frosty the Snow Man knew the

So he

said, “Let’s run , And we’ll

Now

Down to the village with a

Running

Saying

”Catch me

He

[F]

led them down the

And

[G]

he only paused a moment when he

[Am]

heard him holler,

[G7]

”Stop!”

[C]

Frosty the Snow Man had to

[F]

hurry on his

But he
