   Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up,

   let's go, Let's look at the show,

   We're riding in a wonderland of snow.

   it's grand, Just holding your hand,
   Dm
   We're gliding along with a song
         G
   of a wintry fairy land. ]

Our cheeks are nice and rosy
and comfy cozy are we
We're snuggled up together
like two birds of a feather would be
Let's take that road before us
and sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather
for a sleigh ride together with you.

Ronettes play the two verses with chords:  Eb  Cm  Fm  Bb to finish.

          Cmaj7
There's a birthday party

at the home of Farmer Gray

It'll be the perfect ending a perfect day
         C
We'll be singing the songs
   F                G            Am
we love to sing without a single stop,
       E                  F#m
At the fireplace while we watch
    B         E    Dm        G
the chestnuts pop. Pop! pop! pop!
          Cmaj7
There's a happy feeling

nothing in the world can buy,

When they pass around the chocolate

and the pumpkin pie
      C                F
It'll nearly be like a picture print
   G           Am
by Currier and Ives
Dm
These wonderful things are the things
     G
we remember all through our lives!

                C            Am (etc)
Just hear those sleigh bells jingling,
ring ting tingling too
Come on, it's lovely weather
for a sleigh ride together with you,
Outside the snow is falling
and friends are calling "Yoo hoo,"
Come on, it's lovely weather
for a sleigh ride together with you.


      F#m                 B  (etc)
Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up,
let's go, Let's look at the show,
We're riding in a wonderland of snow.
Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up,
it's grand, Just holding your hand,
We're gliding along with a song
of a wintry fairy land

               C        Am (etc)
Our cheeks are nice and rosy
and comfy cozy are we
We're snuggled up together
like two birds of a feather would be
Let's take that road before us
and sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather
for a sleigh ride together with you.
