Sleigh bells ring, are you listenin'

In the lane, snow is glistening

A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight

Walking in a Winter Wonderland

 

Gone away is the blue bird

In his place is the new bird

He's singing our 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 you 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 made

Walking in a Winter Wonderland

 

[Interlude over verse chords]

 

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

Until the other kiddies knock him down

 

When it snows, ain't it thrillin'

Though you know, kids are chillin'

We'll frolick & play, the Eskimo way

Walking in a Winter Wonderland   (wo oh oh ...)
