Lyrics
Sleigh bells ring
Sleigh bells are ringing
are you listening
Inviting someone to listen to the sound of the sleigh bells
in the lane
Describing the location as a lane
snow is glistening
Highlighting the beauty of the snow reflecting light
A beautiful sight
Referring to the snow-covered scene as a beautiful sight
we're happy tonight
Expressing happiness while walking in the winter wonderland
walking in a winter wonderland
Emphasizing the joy of walking in a winter wonderland
gone away is the bluebird
Mentioning the departure of the bluebird
here to stay is a new bird
Indicating the arrival of a new bird that stays
He sings a love song
Describing the new bird singing a love song
as we go along
Enjoying the love song while walking
walking in a winter wonderland
Reiterating the joy of walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
Suggesting the possibility of building a snowman in the meadow
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
Imagining the snowman as Parson Brown
He'll say: Are you married?
Anticipating a question from the snowman about marriage
we'll say: No man
Responding negatively to the question
But you can do the job
Assuring that the snowman can still do the job in town
when you're in town
Discussing plans for later on
Later on
Planning while dreaming by the fire
we'll conspire
Expressing determination to face plans unafraid
as we dream by the fire
Highlighting the warmth and coziness of being by the fire
To face unafraid
Facing plans fearlessly
the plans that we've made
Referring to the plans made while walking in the winter wonderland
walking in a winter wonderland
Reiterating the joy of walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
Repeating the idea of building a snowman in the meadow
and pretend that he's a circus clown
Imagining the snowman as a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman
Anticipating fun with the snowman despite challenges
until the alligators knock him down
Expecting challenges like alligators knocking down the snowman
when it snows
Expressing excitement when it snows
ain't it thrilling
Acknowledging the thrill despite the cold
Though your nose gets a chilling
Noting the chilling effect on the nose in the snow
We'll frolic and play
Committing to frolic and play in the Eskimo way
the Eskimo way
Describing the enjoyment of walking in a winter wonderland
walking in a winter wonderland
Reiterating the joy and activity in the winter wonderland
walking in a winter wonderland
Repeating the idea of walking in a winter wonderland
