Jingle Bells

Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh,
O’er the fields we go,
Laughing all the way;

Bells on Bobtail’s ring,
Making spirits bright,
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight!

Chorus:

     Jingle bells, jingle bells
     Jingle all the way!
     Oh what fun it is to ride
     In a one-horse open sleigh, Oh,
     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,;
We ran into a drifted bank,
And there we got upsot.

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 at me as I there sprawling lie,
But quickly drove away.

Now the ground is white,
Go it while you're young,
Take the girls tonight,
And sing this sleighing song;
Just bet a Bobtailed bay,
Two-forty as his speed,
Hitch him to an open sleigh
and crack! you'll take the lead.
