Sleigh Ride
Phil Spector And Artists Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just hear those sleigh bells jingle-ing, ring-ting tingle-ing, 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 gliding along with a song of a wintery 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.

The lyrics of Phil Spector And Artists' song "Sleigh Ride" is a joyful invitation to go out and enjoy the snow with the people you love. The song paints a vivid picture of a beautiful winter wonderland where one can ride a sleigh and enjoy the snow with friends and loved ones. The sound of the sleigh bells is the dominant theme in the song and sets the stage for a beautiful winter day. The lyrics describe the snow falling from the sky, making the outside environment a beautiful sight to behold. The invite to go on a sleigh ride with loved ones is made twice, emphasizing the importance of sharing this experience with someone special.


The lyrics in the song make it apparent that it is not only about having fun in the snow but also about the shared experience of being together with loved ones. The song describes the feeling of warmth and coziness that comes from being close to someone during such a cold and beautiful time. The use of the metaphor of "two birds of a feather" to describe the togetherness of two people paints a picture of comfort and happiness.
