Sleigh Ride
Air Supply Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 up, giddy up, giddy up, let's go
Let's look at the show
We're riding in a wonderland of snow

Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up it's grand
Just holding your hand
We're gliding along with a song of a wintery fairyland

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 Christmas party at the home of Farmer Gray
It would 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 while we watch the chestnuts pop

There's a happy feeling nothin' in the world can buy
When they pass around the coffee and the pumpkin pie

It will nearly be like a picture print of Currier and Ives
These wonderful things are the things we'll remember all through our lives
These wonderful things are the things we'll remember all through our lives

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

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 of 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!

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

I love this song's vivacious musical introduction. Air Supply knocked it out of the park with this version.

Jeff Allinson

Can't believe I didn't hear this version until about 4 years ago and it is rapidly becoming one of my all time Christmas favourites and the best version of this song by a mile. Puts a huge smile on my face every time!!!
