Jingle Bells

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 !
O 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 !
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 !
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 !
What fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.
