Chorus:

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring-ting-tingling 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.

 

Bridge:

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 riding along with a song of a wintery fairy land.

 

Chorus:

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 to 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 through all our lives!

 

Chorus:

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring-ting-tingling 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.
