This song is timeless, and nearly 20 years after its creation, still possesses the mystique it did the first time i heard it ~1994. To me, at first blush, all those years ago, it had some kind of homo-erotic allure. The line "so that the others may do" tells of something which must be done for others to follow suit. It felt like like some kind of roxy-glam-pop invitation to sexual liberation.
Upon further introspection I think the song may not have an intrinsic meaning, but simply represents a sort of "holding open the door" for people who otherwise might be affronted by this song/band's unusual style. I know, as a sort of armchair rock-historian, that there have been few bands so daring and so true to the sound that wanted to emerge from within, whether the creator wanted it or not. This band handled it with elegance and grace seldom, if ever, seen.
Just hear those sleigh bells jingling ring ting tingling too
Come on it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling Yoo-hoo
Come on it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up, let's go
Let's look at the show
We're riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up it's grand
Just holding your hand
We're gliding along with a song of a wintery fairyland
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 that road before us and sing a chorus or two
Come on it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
There's a Christmas party at the home of Farmer Gray
It would be the perfect ending of a perfect day
We'll be singing the songs we love to sing
Without a single stop
At the fireplace while we watch the chestnuts pop
There's a happy feeling nothin' in the world can buy
When they pass around the coffee and the pumpkin pie
It will nearly be like a picture print of Currier and Ives
These wonderful things are the things we'll remember all through our lives
These wonderful things are the things we'll remember all through our lives
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 that road before us and sing a chorus or two
Come on it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Come on it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling Yoo-hoo
Come on it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up, let's go
Let's look at the show
We're riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up it's grand
Just holding your hand
We're gliding along with a song of a wintery fairyland
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 that road before us and sing a chorus or two
Come on it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
There's a Christmas party at the home of Farmer Gray
It would be the perfect ending of a perfect day
We'll be singing the songs we love to sing
