Dashing through the snow In a one-horse open sleigh O'er 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!
Chorus: O! Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way! O what fun it is to ride, In a one-horse open sleigh, hey! 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!
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 as there I sprawling lay But quickly drove away!
Chorus.
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
