Sleigh bells ring, are you listening, In the lane, snow is glistening,
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight, Walking in a winter wonderland.
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.
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 he can do the job when you're in town.
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.
