Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh, Through 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!
Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells jingle all the way, Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh, O 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 sprawling 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 bob-tailed bay, two-forty as his speed,
Hitch him to an open sleigh and crack! You'll take the lead!
