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.

Giddy yup, giddy yup, giddy yup let’s go,

     let’s look at the snow,

     we’re riding in a wonderland of snow.

Giddy yup, giddy yup, giddy yup it’s grand,

     just holding your hand.

     We’re gliding along with a song of a wintery wonderland.

Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy and cozy are we,

we’re snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be.

Let’s take the road before us and sing a chorus or two,

come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you.

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.

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 through our lives.

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.

Giddy yup, giddy yup, giddy yup let’s go,

     let’s look at the snow,

     we’re riding in a wonderland of snow.

Giddy yup, giddy yup, giddy yup it’s grand,

     just holding your hand.

     We’re gliding along with a song of a wintery wonderland.

Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy and cozy are we,

we’re snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be.

Let’s take the road before us and sing a chorus or two,

come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you.
