Dashing through the snow On a one-horse open sleigh, Over the fields we go, Laughing all the way; Bells on bob-tail ring, Making spirits bright, What fun it is to ride and sing A sleighing song tonight. |
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way! Oh what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh. |
A day or two ago, I thought I'd take a ride, And soon Miss Fanny Bright Was seated by my side; The horse was lean and lank; Misfortune seemed his lot; He got into a drifted bank, And we, we got upsot. |
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way! Oh what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh. |
A day or two ago, The story I must tell I went out on the snow And on my back I fell; A gent was riding by In a one-horse open sleigh, He laughed as there I sprawling lie, But quickly drove away. |
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way! Oh what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh. |
Now the ground is white Go it while you're young, Take the girls tonight And sing this sleighing song; Just get a bob-tailed bay Two-forty as his speed Hitch him to an open sleigh And crack! you'll take the lead. |
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way! Oh what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh. |
