====== 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
