The Gent is producer and musician Mike Bignell, and Lucky Vamp is jazz singer/songwriter Sally Hurst. They have never met, but after A&R Mike P at Freedom Zoom Records introduced them, they each produced from their own studios their own contributions to this first tasty collaboration where they mix jazz vocal and piano, double bass and hip-hop beats. We now expect far more music from the talented strangers.
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 other 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.
