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 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've made Walking in a winter wonderland In the meadow we can build a snowman And pretend that he's a circus clown We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman Until the other kiddies knock him down When it snows Ain't it thrilling Though your nose gets a chilling We'll frolic and play the Eskimo way Walking in a winter wonderland.
