Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open s leigh
O'er the fields we go, laughing all the way
Bells on bobtail ring, making spirits br ight
What fun it is to r ide and sing a sleighing song t onig ht.
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 sitting by my side
The horse was lean and lank, misfortune seemed his lot
He got into a drifted bank and we got upset.
A day or two ago, the story I must tell
I went out in 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 lied but quickly drove away.
Now the ground is white, go it while you're young
Take the girls tonight and sing a sleighing song
Just get a bob-tailed bay, two-forty as his speed
Hitch him to a open sleigh and, crack ! you'll take the lead.
