Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?

In the lane, snow is glistening

A beautiful sight, we’re happy tonight

Gone away is the bluebird

Here to stay is a new bird

He sings a love song as we go along

G7 C

Walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowman

F C

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

G7 C

Walking in a winter wonderland

Verse 3

C G7

In the meadow we can build a snowman

F C

And pretend that he’s a circus clown

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
