Happy holidays!

'tis the season for music

Hello, good people. This week we are having a sing-along. This will be fun and you can join in at any time, from wherever you are reading this. All you have to do is imagine that you’re in a group of people, and that The Zuits are playing with you. If you didn’t know, I am a member of a jazz swing band called The Zuits. Because we are a jazz swing band, this tune will be up-tempo and danceable. So, in addition to singing in full voice, I also encourage you to "bust a move"!

I’ll count you in and watch me for cues and the key change….

a-one, a-two, a one-two-three…

Sleigh bells ring….

Wait, wait, hold on! The men aren’t singing. Come on fellas, this won’t work unless you join in.

One more time… a-one, a-two, a one-two-three!

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

(just the men)
In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he is Parson Brown
(just the women)
He'll say are you married
We'll say no man
(everybody)
But you can do the job
When you're in town

(everybody)
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

(instrumental solos over the verse and bridge… go! Sax, trumpet, trombone and into the key change up a half step)

(back in at the bridge GO!)

(just the men)
In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he's a circus clown
(just the women)
We'll have lots of fun with Mr. Snowman
Until the other kids knock him down
(Everybody)
When it snows
Ain't it thrilling
Though your nose is a chilling
We'll frolic and play the Eskimo way
Just walking in a winter wonderland

A beautiful sight
We're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland
(One more time and we’ll tag it!)

(here comes the tag with the big Las Vegas finish)
Walking in a winter wonderland
We’re not running!
We’re walking in a winter wonderland
And we’re just talking
Walking
in a winter
wonderland!
scooby-do-waaaaaaaa!

Now wasn’t that fun!?

Happy holidays, everyone!

peace and love
