Dashing through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go, laughing all the way
Bells on bob-tails 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, hey
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 there got upsot.
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh, hey
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, hey
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.
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, hey
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh, hey
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
