Special Version

The Chipmunks:
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, yoohoo (yoohoo)
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

Soundtrack Version

The Chipmunks:
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, yoohoo (yoohoo)
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 snow
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 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

Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, let's go
Let's look at the snow
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 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
With you

Santa Claus:
They arrived at Carnegie Hall just in time.
But when Alvin got ready to play his harmonica solo, who should be there but little Tommy, Dave's surprise for Alvin.

Alvin:
And boy was I surprised to see him.

Theodore:
Yeah!

Alvin and Tommy played a beautiful duet on their Echo Harmonicas as Dave, Angela, and Miss Waterford sat proudly in the audience.
