The Jackson 5's rendition of "Frosty the Snowman" is a classic Christmas song that tells the story of a magical snowman named Frosty. The song describes Frosty as a jolly and happy soul, with a corncob pipe, a button nose, and eyes made out of coal. According to the song, Frosty is not just an ordinary snowman but a fairy tale come to life. The children who made him out of snow somehow infused magic into an old silk hat, which brought Frosty to life. This caused him to begin dancing and moving around, much to the amazement and joy of the children. The lyrics illustrate that Frosty was not just a stationary snowman but a living being, capable of laughing and playing just like any person. The song portrays Frosty as a playful character who enjoys running and having fun with the children. Realizing that he is made of snow and could melt under the heat of the sun, Frosty suggests to the children that they should have fun before he melts away. They then venture into the village, with Frosty leading the way, using a broomstick as a prop. They playfully run around the village square, challenging others to catch them. Eventually, Frosty leads the group to a traffic cop and briefly stops when he gets told to. However, knowing that he needs to hurry on his way, Frosty bids farewell to the children, assuring them not to cry and promises to return someday. The song ends with Frosty exclaiming that he will be back next year, leaving a cheerful and festive atmosphere. Overall, the Jackson 5's rendition of "Frosty the Snowman" captures the whimsical and joyous tale of a magical snowman and the children who bring him to life. It celebrates the magic and wonder of the holiday season.
