[Verse 1]
Frosty the Snowman
He's a jolly happy soul
Got a corncob pipe, cute button nose
Got two eyes made out of coal
Frosty the Snowman
Is a fairytale, they say
He was made of snow
But all the girls know
How he came to life one day, ooh

[Bridge]
Must have been some magic
In that old silk hat we found
When we placed it on his head
Child, he began to dance around

[Verse 2]
And Frosty the Snowman, woo
Was alive as he could be
And all the girls say
He could laugh and play
Just the same as you and me
Frosty the Snowman
Oh, knew the sun was hot that day
He said, "Girls, let's run
Come on, let's have some fun
Now before I melt away"

[Bridge]
He led us down the streets of town
Right to that traffic cop
He only paused one moment
Said, when all the girls just yelled
"Woo, Frosty, Stop"

[Verse 3]
Frosty the Snowman
Had to hurry on his way
But he waved bye-bye
Ladies, don't you cry
I'll be back again some day

[Bridge]
Oh, ooh, mercy
Or should I say, merci beaucoup... [Scatting]
Frosty, oh, so cold
Oh, he led them down the streets of town
Right to the traffic cop
He only paused one moment
When all the girls yelled
"Ooh, Frosty, stop"

[Outro]
Frosty my Snowman
Had to hurry on his way
But he waved bye-bye
Said, "Anita, don't you cry
I'll be back, oh baby baby, I'll be back some day
Gonna get you
Ooh, woo

Anita Baker is a Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter known for her distinct low contralto vocals. She started out in the band Chapter 8, which had the hit song “I Just Wanna Be Your Girl” that was later sampled by Bone Thugs-n-Harmony for their hit song “1st of tha Month.” “Anita” went on to become a big name in ‘80s R&B alongside “Luther” and “Whitney” as she began to rack up #1 hits.

Her debut album, The Songstress, was released in 1983 on independent label Beverly Glen and featured the hit song “Angel.” She left Beverly Glen and signed with Elektra Records, releasing her second album Rapture in 1986, which went on to sell over 5 million albums and peaked at #1 on the Billboard R&B Albums chart thanks to the hits “Sweet Love,” “Same Ole Love,” and “Caught Up in the Rapture.”

Her third album, Giving You the Best That I Got, was released in 1988 and hit #1 on the Billboard 200, and the title track hit #1 on both the Billboard R&B and Adult Contemporary Singles charts. Rapture and Giving You the Best That I Got accounted for five of her eight Grammy Awards, with her sixth in that time frame coming from her gospel collaboration with The Winans on the song “Ain’t No Need To Worry” in 1988.
