Winter Wonderland Lyrics to the song below was written by Richard B. Smith in 1934.
This holiday song is a youthful celebration of the joys of winter snow. It revolves around the Wonderland created by glistening snow. The couple make plans to build a snowman in the meadow, and to embark on a winter journey to a fantasy wonderland where the snowman comes alive (vaguely remenisant of the tale of frosty the snowman) and takes on the roles of a pastor and also a circus clown. The Christmas themes of sleigh bells in the snow and a warm fire are also mentioned.
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
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland.
