Frosty, the Snowman, was alive as he could be

F........................F7......................Bb..............C7........F
Down to the village, with a broom-stick in his hand,
.................Bb............C7..............F..............Dm......................Gm7..........C7..........F
Running here and there, all around the square, sayin', "Catch me if you can."
.......Bb.................................F..............................Gm7......C7........F
He led them down the streets of town, right to the traffic cop
................C.......................Am7........................Dm7..........G7..........C......C7
And he only paused a moment, when he heard him holler, "Stop!"
F.....................F7..........................Bb.....C7........F
Frosty, the Snowman, had to hurry on his way
................Bb...............C7...................F.............Dm.............Gm7...C7............F
But he waved goodbye, sayin' "Don't you cry, I'll be back again some day"
