Jingle bells

Jingle Bells

by James Lord Pierpont

Dashing through the snow

In a one-horse open sleigh,

Over the fields we go,

Laughing all the way;

The bells on bob-tail ring,

They make our spirits bright,

What fun it is to ride and sing

A sleighing song tonight, O

 

Jingle bells, jingle bells,

Jingle all the way!

O what fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh

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 upset. O

 

Jingle bells, jingle bells,

Jingle all the way!

O what fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh

Jingle bells, jingle bells,

Jingle all the way!

O what fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh

 

Now the ground is white

So go it while you’re young,

Take the girls tonight

And sing this sleighing song;

Just get a bob-tailed nag

Two-forty for his speed

Then hitch him to an open sleigh

And crack! you’ll take the lead, O

 

Jingle bells, jingle bells,

Jingle all the way!

O what fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh

Jingle bells, jingle bells,

Jingle all the way!

O what fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh
