Sleigh Ride
Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring tingle 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.
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.
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.

About the carol Sleigh Ride
“Sleigh Ride” is an orchestral Christmas and winter song composed by Leroy Anderson in 1948, with lyrics later added by Mitchell Parish in 1950. The Ronettes recorded one of the most famous vocal versions in 1963, adding their distinctive girl-group sound to the classic winter composition. The song is known for its energetic rhythm and cheerful holiday atmosphere.
The song describes the joy of taking a sleigh ride through a snowy landscape with someone special. It focuses on winter activities, laughter and the excitement of being outdoors during the holiday season. Like many winter songs, it does not specifically tell a Christmas story but captures the feelings of warmth, fun and togetherness associated with December.
The Ronettes’ version became especially popular because of its rich production and memorable vocal style. “Sleigh Ride” has remained a holiday favorite because it creates a vivid picture of winter celebration. Its connection to Christmas comes from its seasonal imagery, frequent inclusion on holiday albums and its ability to capture the joyful atmosphere surrounding the festive period.
