Sleigh Ride Lyrics by Gwen Stefani
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 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 wintry fairy land
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
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 chocolate
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!
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
Come on, it’s lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Come on, it’s lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
