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

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…

[Verse 4]
Now the ground is white, Go it while you’re young
Take the girls tonight, And sing this sleighing song
Just get a bobtailed bay, Two forty as his speed
Hitch him to an open sleigh, And crack, you’ll take the lead

[CHORUS]  Jingle bells, Jingle bells…
