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
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 gliding 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 coffee
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,
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.
The song "Sleigh Ride" by Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters is about going on a sleigh ride with someone special and enjoying the winter wonderland together. The song opens with the sound of sleigh bells jingling and ringing, setting the festive mood. The singers invite their love interest to join them on a sleigh ride, noting that the weather is perfect for it. The chorus emphasizes the joy of riding through the snow, with the melody and lyrics creating a sense of elation and freedom.
The song continues to describe the experience of being cozy and comfortable in the sleigh with someone special. The happiness shared between them is compared to the cozy relationship between two birds sitting close together. As they ride, they pass by a party and join in singing songs they love, enjoying the company of friends and family. The song concludes with the singers remarking on how the experience is like a picture-perfect moment from a Currier and Ives painting, a nostalgic reference to the holiday traditions and images of a bygone era.
