Jingle Bells

            Dashing through the snow
            In a one-horse open sleigh
            Through 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.

            chorus: Jingle bells, jingle bells
            Jingle all the way,
            Oh what fun it is to ride
            In a one-horse open sleigh,
            O 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 laid
            But quickly drove away.

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