“Ring-a-ling-a-ding-dong-ding!” The Ronettes ride right back onto the Billboard Hot 100 with their holiday jingle “Sleigh Ride” at No. 43 (dated Dec. 14).
When the girl group first came onto the Hot 100 for this Phil Spector-produced track in 2018, they had just ended their 52-year-long gap of being on the chart since Oct. 29, 1966, when “I Can Hear Music” spent a week at No. 100.
Check out the lyrics below.
Come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you (ring-a-ling-a ding-dong-ding!)
Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling “yoo hoo!” (ring-a-ling-a ding-dong-ding!)
Come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you (ring-a-ling-a ding-dong-ding!)
(Ring-a-ling-a ding-dong-ding! Ring-a-ling-a ding-dong-ding! Ring-a-ling-a ding-dong-ding!)
Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy and cozy are we (ring-a-ling-a ding-dong-ding!)
We’re snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be (ring-a-ling-a ding-dong-ding!)
Let’s take the road before us and sing a chorus or two (ring-a-ling-a ding-dong-ding!)
Come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you (ring-a-ling-a ding-dong-ding!)
(Ring-a-ling-a ding-dong-ding! Ring-a-ling-a ding-dong-ding! Ring-a-ling-a ding-dong-ding!)
(Ring-a-ling-a ding-dong-ding! Ring-a-ling-a ding-dong-ding! Ring-a-ling-a ding-dong-ding!)
Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy and cozy are we (ring-a-ling-a ding-dong-ding!)
We’re snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be (ring-a-ling-a ding-dong-ding!)
Let’s take the road before us and sing a chorus or two (ring-a-ling-a ding-dong-ding!)
Come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you (ring-a-ling-a ding-dong-ding!)
(Ring-a-ling-a ding-dong-ding!)
(Ring-a-ling-a ding-dong-ding!)
