Dashing through the snow

In a one-horse open sleigh

O'er the fields we go

Laughing all the way

Bells on bobtail 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





(chorus)



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 lay

But quickly drove away





(chorus)



Now the ground is white

Go it while you're young

Take the girls along

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





(chorus)
