Sleigh Ride 03:05
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 "You 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 snow 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 the 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 the 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 of 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 jingle-ing Ring ting tingle-ing too Come on, it's lovely weather For a sleigh ride together with you Let's take the road before us and sing a chorus or two Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you

There's someone who's knocking at my door The person keeps knocking more and more The person keeps saying, "Please Let Me In!" The one who is knocking is here With a white beard on his chin He's laughing so loudly, I know they're happy Let's see who is at my door He's wearing a suit made of red and white He looks very happy and very bright He always says "Ho! Ho!" And "Merry Christmas!" too He brings all the goodies And gifts for me and you He'll bring me some presents and all because His name is Santa Claus He's wearing a suit made of red and white He looks very happy and very bright He always says "Ho! Ho!" And "Merry Christmas!" too He brings all the goodies and gifts for me and you He'll bring me some presents And all because his name is Santa Claus His name is Santa Claus

Christmas time All the world is bright and shiny Sweet as candy canes Hanging from a christmas tree Santa Claus, with his sleigh and with his reindeer Comes to town So be as good as you can be Christmas time Time that we wait all year for It's the time All the world is thinking of Christmas time Sharing with those we care for Christmas time, time to share the gift of love Little children Just waiting for their presents Every fantasy Tied up with a pretty bow Silver bells Chiming sweetly in the churches Singing out, Christmas carols we all know Christmas time Time that we wait all year for It's the time All the world is thinking of Christmas time Sharing with those we care for Christmas time, time to share the gift of love
