(Intro: Fast, upbeat walking bass line starts immediately. Drums enter with a driving beat and a classic off-beat snare pop. A bright trumpet/saxophone section plays a quick, energetic version of the main melody.) (Verse 1) (C)Frosty the snowman (G)was a jolly, happy soul, (Am)With a corncob pipe and a (F)button nose and two eyes made out of coal! (C)He was built with speed, yeah, (G)he was built for the rush, (Am)He knew that if the sun came out, (F)he’d turn into slush! (C)So he grabbed his broom and he (G)snapped his fingers quick, (Am)The kind of magic that runs (F)on a fast, syncopated trick! (Pre-Chorus) (F)Oh, the kids were shouting, (C)they were running hard behind, (G)But that snowman had a rhythm (C)on his hyperactive mind! (F)He wasn't meant for stillness, (C)he wasn't built to pause, (G)He was built for the chaos (N.C.) of breaking all the laws! (Chorus) (Full Band - Fast, Driving Tempo) (C)FROSTY THE SKANK MAN! (G)He’s dancing through the town! (Am)With the bass drum pumping (F)and the snow falling down! (C)FROSTY THE SKANK MAN! (G)He won't let the heat win! (Am)He's got that perfect Ska beat (F)right underneath his skin! (Verse 2) (C)Frosty the snowman (G)is a fairy tale, they say, (Am)He came to life one morning (F)but he had no time to stay! (C)Down to the village (G)with a frantic, happy blur, (Am)He’s got no time for small talk, (F)man, he's got too much to deter! (C)He waved goodbye, saying, "(G)Don’t you shed a tear, now, (Am)I’ll be back again someday, (F)when the winter atmosphere allows!" (C)The sun was hot, and he knew (G)he had to split the scene, (Am)But he left behind the fastest (F)and the jolliest memory seen! (Pre-Chorus) (F)Oh, the kids were shouting, (C)they were running hard behind, (G)But that snowman had a rhythm (C)on his hyperactive mind! (F)He wasn't meant for stillness, (C)he wasn't built to pause, (G)He was built for the chaos (N.C.) of breaking all the laws! (Chorus) (Full Band - Fast, Driving Tempo) (C)FROSTY THE SKANK MAN! (G)He’s dancing through the town! (Am)With the bass drum pumping (F)and the snow falling down! (C)FROSTY THE SKANK MAN! (G)He won't let the heat win! (Am)He's got that perfect Ska beat (F)right underneath his skin! (Outro) (The band accelerates into a final, chaotic Ska instrumental section—horns and guitar play a final, fast flourish.) (C-G-Am-F) RUN! FROSTY! RUN! (C-G-Am-F) JAMAICA! JAMAICA! (The music hits a final, massive chord and cuts off abruptly with a shouted, quick lyric.) **(N.C.) HAPPY CHRISTMAS! HEY!
