Lyrics
Just hear those sleigh bells jingle-ing, ring-ting-tingle-ing, too
Come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling “Yoo-hoo”
Come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Giddy-yap, giddy-yap, giddy-yap, let’s go, let’s look at the show
We’re riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy-yap, giddy-yap, giddy-yap, it’s grand, just holding your hand
We’re gliding along with a song of a wintery fairyland
Our cheeks are nice and rosy, and comfy cozy are we
We’re snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be
Let’s take that road before us and sing a chorus or two
Come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Interlude
There’s a birthday party at the home of Farmer Gray
It’ll be the perfect ending of a perfect day
We’ll be singing the songs we love to sing without a single stop
At the fireplace while we watch the chestnuts pop, POP! POP! POP!
There’s a happy feeling nothing in the world can buy
When they pass around the coffee and the pumpkin pie
It’ll nearly be like a picture print by Currier and Ives
These wonderful things are the things we remember all thru our lives
