Sleigh Ride

Lyrics by Mitchell Parish, music by Leroy Anderson

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 show
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 the song
Of a wintry fairy land

Our cheeks are nice and rosy
And comfy cozy are we
We're snuggled close 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

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 where we’ll 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 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 show
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 the song
Of a wintry fairy land

Nice and rosy
And comfy cozy are we
We're snuggled close 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
