Sleigh Ride
Harry Connick Jr. Lyrics

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling
Listen to those bells on the sleigh ringing

Ring ting tingling too
The bells create a high-pitched, tinkly sound as they jingle

Come on, it's lovely weather
The current climate is ideal for engaging in sleigh riding activities

For a sleigh ride together with you
It is desirable that we experience the activity together

Outside the snow is falling
Precipitation consisting of snowflakes is currently descending from the sky

And friends are calling "You hoo."
Buddies are audibly vocalizing to draw our attention and request our presence

Giddy-yap, giddy-yap, giddy-yap; let's go
This is an exhortation for the horses drawing the sleigh to accelerate

Let's look at the snow
We should observe the snow that is around us

We're riding in a wonderland of snow
We are currently engaged in an activity while surrounded by snow, which creates a magical atmosphere

Giddy-yap, giddy-yap, giddy-yap; it's grand
It is satisfying and impressive that the horses are pulling the sleigh with such skill and speed

Just holding your hand
It feels comforting and joyful to have physical contact with the other participant, who is the singer's companion

We're gliding along with the song of a wintry fairy land
It feels as if we are flying almost, surrounded by magical wintery scenes

Our cheeks are nice and rosy, and comfy cozy are we
Our faces are red and warm from the activity, and we are feeling comfortable and cozy

We're snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be
We are cuddled up warmly, sharing our body heat, close like birds of the same species, creating a sense of closeness

Let's take the road before us and sing a chorus or two
We should continue our activity by singing a few songs together

Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
The artist is again encouraging the other party to participate in sleigh riding together, exclaiming that the climate is especially perfect for it

There's a birthday party at the home of Farmer Gray
A celebration of one's yearly anniversary of being born is currently being held at the estate of Farmer Gray

It'll be the perfect ending of a perfect day
For the singer, participating in the celebration would be the ideal way to conclude their day

We'll be singing the songs we love to sing without a single stop
It is expected that during the course of the celebration, the attendees will sing the songs they genuinely enjoy, without dancing or interruption

At the fireplace while we watch the chestnuts pop
In addition to singing, we will also be gathered around a fireplace watching chestnuts burst or explode under high heat

Pop! Pop! Pop!
The chestnuts are repeatedly bursting open due to the heat, making a distinctive popping sound

There's a happy feeling nothing in the world can buy
The emotion being experienced at the moment cannot be purchased or reproduced in any way, it's unique and priceless

When they pass around the coffee and the pumpkin pie
Throughout the party, items such as coffee and pumpkin pie will be served to the attendees

It'll nearly be like a picture-print by Currier and Ives
The entire scenario is so picturesque and perfect that it seems as if it were taken straight out from a classic Currier and Ives painting

These wonderful things are the things we remember all through our lives
The otherwise ordinary events, such as sleigh riding, singing, and attending birthday parties, are the things we will remember fondly and treasure for the rest of our lives
