Winter Wonderland Lyrics

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 all the kids 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

not every song has a hidden meaning that revloves around drugs, and sex, and violence...some songs are just simply about christmas and how great it is. Snow = frozen water that falls from the sky NOT cocaine

although, here are some funny alternate lyrics: Lacy things, the wife is missin' Didn't ask, her permission I'm wearin' her clothes Her silk pantyhose Walkin' 'round in women's underwear

In the store, there's a teddy Little straps, like spaghetti It holds me so tight Like handcuffs at night Walkin' 'round in women's underwear

In the office there's a guy named Melvin, He pretends that I am Murphy Brown He'll say, "Are you ready?" I'll say, "Whoa Man!" "Let's wait until our wives are out of town!"

Later on, if you wanna We can dress, like Madonna Put on some eyeshade And join the parade Walkin' 'round in women's underwear

Lacy things- missin' Didn't ask- permission Wearin' her clothes Her silk pantyhose Walkin' 'round in women's underwear Walkin' 'round in women's underwear Walkin' 'round in women's underwear

If you pay really close attention and read the lyrics you will see that there is more that meets the eye.

In the meadow we can build a snowman Then pretend that he is Parson Brown

What this is saying is that the snowman 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

I take this as someone asking if they are married and they say no..But then they say that The snowman (Parson Brown) can do the job (sex, fornication) When they are in town (They're house or with them)

Later on we'll conspire as we dream by the fire

To conspire is to plot evil so therfore they are plotting evil by the fire.

To face unafraid the plans that we've made

They are facing what they did unafraid.

We'll frolic and play the Eskimo way

Frolic and play (fornicate or sexual contact) the eskimo way

I agree completely that this song is laced with sexual overtones, for the very reasons that you mention. This is one of several secular Christmas songs with such a purpose, the next most blatant being "Let It Snow" and that retarded "It's Cold Outside" song.

Here is a wetlook fully dressed swimming twist on this wonderful melody:

"We're all dressed up, so let's go swimming! All soaking wet, splashing and singing! Swimming with dress clothes on, Singing a splashy song, Splash-Splishetty-Splashing in a Water Wonderland!

Oh, the splashy wonders of wet clothing! The sight of wet clothes clinging to your skin! In the water, clothes give such a tingle! Let's go waltzing in the water, singing!

Diving in dress clothes so fine, would you have guessed, I'm kind of shy? Feeling very embarrassed, And it feels very good, Splish-Splashetty-BLUSHING in a Water Wonderland!

Oh, the joy, of Dressy-Dipping! Let's Splash your Dress, all wet and singing! Swimming with dress clothes on, singing our happy love song, Splash-Splishetty- Splashing in a Water Wonderland!

SPLASH! Splishetty! SPLASHING! In A WATER WonderLAND!!!"

I think this song might be about a young couple in love who decide that they will marry while on a walk in winter.

The "new bird" sings a love song as they walk along then the couple build a snowman and pretend it's the parson who asks them if they are married and they tell him no. The couple tells the Parson that he can marry them when he is in town (perhaps next winter).

After their walk the couple "dream by the fire," conspiring about their wedding. It is possible that they are very young and planning to marry in secret, but I don't think the song gives much evidence for that. More likely, they are a young couple of an appropriate dreaming of their life together."To face unafraid the plans that we've made"

Song Meaning

@michbug that's what i was thinking. it sounds like a song about eloping. i get the idea that a "winter wonderland" is just an extended metaphor for a wedding; both are all white. Also, the line "Sleigh bells ringing, are you listening?" could be a reference to the popular saying, "I hear wedding bells" when referring to two people in love.

I'm still kind of stumped by the circus clown/eskimo lines though. Taking a cue from all the sexually charged comments above, my best interpretation for the circus clown line is that it's referring...
