Ride on
Anita O'Day & Stan Kenton and His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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, just look at the show
We're riding in a wonderland of snow
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 and 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
(Dinga-linga-linga-ding-dong-ding) ding-dong

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring-ting tingling, too
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
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
Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy and 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
Outside the snow is falling, friends are calling "Yoo hoo"
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Sleigh ride together with you

Me too. I Never Heard it before. But again a wonderful song.

Stan Kenton epitomized what was referred to as the West Coast Jazz, my father was a big fan of Kenton, I have several of my fathers original recordings of Kenton, one that was recorded here at the Earle Theater in Philadelphia.

Una deliziosa Anita O'Day e uno Stan Kenton con una orchestrazione che ben riassume il "prgressive jazz" .

im reading Anita's autob. (high times hard times) and she states that 'stanley' was an unusual cat, and not in a real good way.

She was heard to say: “Stanley couldn’t swing if you hung him with a rope.”
