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
(Dinga-linga-linga-ding-dong-ding) ding-dong
(Dinga-linga-linga-ding-dong-ding) ding-dong

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring-ting tingling, too
