====== Sleigh Ride ====== ===== Lyrics ===== 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 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! 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 **By:** Leroy Anderson & Mitchell Parish ==== Music & Performance ==== {{wiki:sleigh_ride.mp3}}\\ [[https://musescore.com/repeatedbrains/sleigh-ride-two-pianos|Source]] {{youtube>XZTzai1H9DM?small=rel=0}} ===== Background ===== Written originally as a Orchestra number, the words were added 2 years later. **Origin:** United States of America\\ **First Published:** 1946 ===== More Information ===== [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleigh_Ride|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleigh_Ride]]
