Artist background

Bing Crosby brought an intimate singing style to radio, records and films, becoming closely associated with Irving Berlin’s “White Christmas”. His recording offers a wistful picture of the season rather than a noisy celebration. That easy, conversational voice remains the attraction: a little nostalgia for anyone dreaming of snow, wherever they happen to be listening.

Show Lyrics — Sleigh Ride
Giddy-yap giddy-yap giddy-yap let's go
Let's look at the snow
We're riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy-yap giddy-yap giddy-yap it's grand
Just holding your hand
(We're gliding along with the song 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 the road before us
And sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

We'll be singing the songs
We love to sing without a single stop
At the fireplace while we watch the chestnuts
(Pop, pop, pop, pop)

There's a happy feeling
Nothing in the world can buy
When they pass around the coffee
And the pumpkin pie

It'll nearly be like a picture print
By Currier and Ives
These wonderful things are the things
We remember all through our lives

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling
Ring ting tingling too
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

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

Whoo, whoo there now
Steady, easy, whoo, everybody out
