Dash-ing 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. Hey!
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 laid, 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, twoforty as his speed.
Hitch him to an open sleigh, and "crack!" you'll take the lead.
(Chorus)
