美國基督流行樂女王［艾美葛蘭特］──傳統流行／聖誕曲──［Sleigh Ride／雪橇行］

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring ting tingling too
Come on its lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling, "Yoo hoo!"
Come on its lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you

Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap, lets go
Lets look at the show, were riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap, its grand just holding your hand
Were gliding along with a song of a wintery fairyland

Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy cozy are we
Weve snuggled close together like two birds of a feather would be
Lets take that road before us and sing a chorus or two
Come on its lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you

Theres a birthday party at the home of farmer Gray
Itll be the perfect ending of a perfect day
Well be singing the songs we love to sing without a single stop
At the fireplace we will watch the chestnuts pop, pop, pop, pop

Theres a happy feeling nothing in this world can buy
When they pass around the coffee and the pumpkin pie
Itll nearly be like a picture print by currier and ives
These wonderful things are the things we remember all through our lives
These wonderful things are the things we remember all through our lives

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring ting tingling, too
Come on its lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling, "Yoo hoo!"
Come on, its lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you

Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap, lets go
Lets look at the show, were riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap, its grand just holding your hand
Were gliding along with a song of a wintery fairyland

Nice and rosy and comfy cozy are we
Weve snuggled close together like two birds of a feather would be
Lets take that road before us and sing a chorus or two
Come on its lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Its lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you

Lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
