I’ve always thought it was “On Christmas day”, but listening to Christmas songs on the radio i’ve noticed most singers sing it as “again someday”.

Which is it when you sing it to yourself?

I’ve always heard and sung it as “Some Day.”

It’s not technically a Christmas song, just a seasonal song.

Frosty only says on Christmas Day at the end of the cartoon but the song is just again someday

Again Someday because spring comes and Frosty melts - but he’ll be back when winter returns

I get to “two eyes made out of coal” and then there’s a bunch of syllables until I hear there must have been some magic in the old silk hat they found that made him dance around when they placed it on his head. He dances around muttering until he comes “back again some daaaaaay!”

Yes, I’ve heard it like that.

Because I sing variants of “Frosty” around the house that are different from the original, neither rings a bell. My last lines are more like:

_Frosty the Snowman,  
Well he really had to go;  
So he found a tree  
And he had a pee,  
But then all he made was snow._

So yeah, those don’t ring a bell, but my family might like them better.

Yeah, in my head the last bit is:

Thumpity thump thump  
Thumpity thump  
Look at Frosty go  
Thumpity thump thump  
Thumpity thump  
Over the hills of snow

Likewise. Though for the verse the OP quotes, “again someday.”

After the “Thumpity Thump Thump” verse, it’s:

So he waved goodbye,  
Saying "Don’t you cry!
