JINGLE BELLS



Dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh

and o'er the fields we go laughing all the way.

The bells on bobtail 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.

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!

Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh.



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!

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.



Now the ground is white; go it while you're young,

take a ride tonight and sing this sleighing song.

Just get a bobtailed bay, two-forty for his speed;

then 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.

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!

Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh.
