WINTER WONDERLAND – Bing Crosby
[Chorus]
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening, In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, we’re happy tonight, Walking in a winter wonderland
[Post-Chorus]
Gone away is the bluebird, Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song as we go along, Walking in a winter wonderland
[Verse 1]
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
[Refrain]
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
[Chorus]
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening, In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, we’re happy tonight, Walking in a winter wonderland
[Post-Chorus]
Gone away is the bluebird, Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song as we go along, Walking in a winter wonderland
[Verse 2]
In the meadow, we can build a snowman, And pretend that he’s a circus clown
We’ll have lots of fun with Mr. Snowman, Yes, until the other kiddies knock him down
[Refrain]
Later on, we’ll conspire, As we dream sittin’ by the fire
To face unafraid all the plans that we’ve made
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland

Frosty The Snowman – Ella Fitzgerald
Muffler of wool and a tummy that’s fat?
King for a day, and he loves the road
With a broomstick cane and a heart of gold
With a corncob pipe and a button nose, And two eyes made out of coal
He was made of snow But the children know
How he came to life one day
For when they placed it on his head He began to dance around
And the children say He could laugh and play
Just the same as you and me
So he said let’s run And we’ll have some fun
Now before I melt away
Running here and there all around the square
Saying catch me if you can
And he only paused a moment when He heard him holler stop
But he waved goodbye Saying don’t you cry
I’ll be back again some day
Thumpety thump thump, Thumpety thump thump, Over the hills of snow

JINGLE BELLS
[Verse 1]
Dashing through the snow In a one-horse open sleigh
O’er the fields we go Laughing all the way
Bells on bobtails ring Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing A sleighing song tonight
[Chorus]
Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh, hey
Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh
[Verse 2]
A day or two ago I thought I’d take a ride
And soon, Miss Fanny Bright Was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank Misfortune seemed his lot
He got into a drifted bank And then we got upsot
[CHORUS] Jingle bells, Jingle bells…
[Verse 3]
A day or two ago The story I must tell
I went out on the snow And on my back I fell
A gent was riding by, In a one-horse open sleigh
He laughed as there I sprawling lie, But quickly drove away
[CHORUS] Jingle bells, Jingle bells…
[CHORUS] Jingle bells, Jingle bells…

Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer – Gene Autry
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen
But do you recall, The most famous reindeer of all?
And if you ever saw it, You would even say it glows
They never let poor Rudolph, Join in any reindeer games
“Rudolph, with your nose so bright, Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?”

SILVER BELLS – Bing Crosby
In the air there’s a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing, People passing, Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you’ll hear
Silver bells, (Silver bells) Silver bells, (silver bells)
It’s Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling (ring-a-ling), Hear them ring (hear them ring)
Soon it will be Christmas day
Strings of streetlights, Even stop lights, Blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush, Home with their treasures
And above all this bustle you’ll hear
Silver bells) the corner Santa Claus
(Silver bells), it’s busy now because
It’s Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, (it fills the winter air)
Hear them ring (you’ll hear it everywhere)
Soon it will be Christmas day
City sidewalks, (silver bells) busy sidewalks
(Silver bells) Dressed in holiday style
In the air (It’s Christmas time in the city)
There’s a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing, (ring-a-ling)
People passing, (Hear them ring)
Meeting smile after smile
Very soon it will be Christmas day
