Chicago

Just hear those sleigh bells jingle-ling
Ring ting tingle-ling, 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, come on, come on)
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
The 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 the 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 happy feeling
Nothing in the world can buy
When they pass around the coffee
And the pumpkin pie

It'll nearly be like a picture print
By Currier and Ives
These wonderful things are the things
We remember all through our lives

Just hear those sleigh bells jingle-ling
Ring ting tingle-ling, 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, come on, come on)
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

Chicago is a rock band hailing from the Illinois city of the same name. With its multitude of certified gold and platinum hits, the band has had enough longevity to last for over fifty years.

Chicago was formed on February 15, 1967, between keyboardist/singer Robert Lamm, trumpeter Lee Loughnane, saxophonist Walter Parazaider, drummer Danny Seraphine, guitarist Terry Kath, and trombonist James Pankow. The group called themselves “The Big Thing,” and played Top 40 hits in nightclubs in Chicago. In 1968, the band relocated to Los Angles, and changed their name to Chicago Transit Authority. They gained massive amounts of exposure to famous musicians of the time by regularly playing at the Whiskey A Go Go nightclub. In 1969, they released a self-titled album which peaked at No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 200 chart. The next year, the band shortened their name to “Chicago” to avoid a lawsuit from the actual company of the same name.

The band has released a plethora of albums, most of them titled Chicago enumerated with Roman numerals. The band changed its sound in the late 70s and 80s following the death of Terry Kath. Since then, the band has still carried on a legacy for the decades following, but has slowed the release of original music to a trickle.
