FROSTY

Frosty the Golem
(Just in case you missed the news)
Made by Rabbi Loew
From the mud and snow
To protect the ghetto’s Jews

Frosty the Golem
Was a pile of lifeless clay
But the Name of God
Written on a clod
Helped bring him to life one day

There must have been some magic
In the yarmulke they found
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around

Frosty the Golem
Would abide no bigotry
Anti-Semites, they
Better stay away
Lest he break their head and knee

Frosty the Golem
Kept the pogroms far away
Cossacks felt his rage
When he would rampage
Any hour of night or day

Down to the village
With a firebrand in his hand
Running here and there
All around the square
Beating peasants thro’ the land

He dragged them down the streets of town
Mightier than any cop
And he never paused a moment when
He heard them screaming, “Stop!”

Frosty the Golem
Was mere animated clay
But he waved goodbye
Saying, “Don’t you cry
I’ll be back again some day!”

Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Look at that golem go

Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Over the mud and snow
