Wonderland
JR Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sing on my Chrstmas album with me
Here is a lovely song called Winter Wonderland
And maybe you could sing it afterwards
Okay cool
Listen carefully now
Alright
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is the new bird
He sings a love song, as we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow, we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say, are you married, we'll say, no man
But you can do the job when you're in town
Later on, we'll conspire as we dream by the fire
To face unafraid the plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland
Alright, Kate, that's how the song goes
You wanna give it a shot
Yeah dad, but, um, your version kinda put me to sleep
Listen to mine, hit it fellas
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is the new bird
He sings a love song, as we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow, we can build a snowman
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with Mister Snowman
Until the other kids knock him down
When it snows, ain't it thrilling
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow, we can build a snowman
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with Mister Snowman
Until the other kids knock him down
When it snows, ain't it thrilling
And you know we're just chilling
To face unafraid the plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland
To face unafraid the plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland
To face unafraid the plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland
In “Wonderland,” JR and his daughter, Kate, collaborate on a rendition of the classic Christmas tune “Winter Wonderland.” JR's lyrics are a mix of the original lyrics with his own unique spin, such as his substitution of “Parson Brown” with a circus clown and his use of the phrase “chilling” instead of “terrifying.” JR includes a shoutout to his daughter, telling her that he is “honoured” to have her sing on his Christmas album with him.
The song starts with the iconic opening lines that set the scene for the rest of the song: “Sleigh bells ring, are you listening in the lane, snow is glistening. A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight walking in a winter wonderland.” JR and Kate continue with the second verse, which highlights the arrival of new birds for the winter season. Next, they reference building a snowman and pretending that he is a circus clown.
They also describe the joy of playing in the snow and the thrill of the winter season. The final verse refers to sitting by the fire and making plans for the future while basking in the warmth of the fire. After JR’s version of the song, Kate takes the mic, and her rendition is more upbeat, with a tempo change to keep in tune with her style.
