Just hear those sleigh bells jinglin', ring-ting-a-tingling too
(Ring-a-ling-a-ling, a-ding-dong-ding)
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
(Ring-a-ling-a-ling...)
Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling "Yoo-hoo!"...
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you

(Ring-a-ling-a-ling, a-ding-dong-ding) (4x)

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 the road before us and sing a chorus or two...
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
