I believe, many of you have already seen this meme.

In short, in a PlayStation game Fate/Extra an anime girl is singing Jingle bells like-like song in Japanese:

走{はし}れ艝{そり}よ
風{かぜ}のように
月{ずき}見晴{みは}らを
パドルパドル!

I just started to wonder, what does it exactly mean?

Jisho considers it as a paddle

A paddle is a tool used for pushing against liquids, either as a form of propulsion in a boat or as an implement for mixing.

Among other similar meanings, Japanese Wikipedia also considers it as a paddle or something similar. At the Trivia section (here), I have found that it can also mean some kind of punishment enforced in navy or former schools.

Is it a kind of onomatopoeia with a meaning similar to Jingle bells? Or maybe it stands for some kind of whip given to bad behaved children or something similar?
