Dashing through the snowIn a one-horse open sleighThrough the fields we goLaughing all the way.Bells on bob-tail ringMaking spirits brightWhat fun it is to ride and singA sleighing song tonight.Cho: jingle bells, jingle bellsJingle all the way,Oh what fun it is to rideIn a one-horse open sleigh, oJingle bells, jingle bellsJingle all the way,Oh what fun it is to rideIn a one-horse open sleigh.A day or two agoI thought I’d take a rideAnd soon miss fanny brightWas seated by my side;The horse was lean and lankMisfortune seemed his lot,We ran into a drifted bankAnd there we got upsot.A day or two agoThe story I must tellI went out on the snowAnd on my back I fell;A gent was riding byIn a one-horse open sleighHe laughed at me asI there sprawling laidBut quickly drove away.Now the ground is white,Go it while you’re young,Take the girls alongAnd sing this sleighing song.Just bet a bob-tailed bay,Two-forty as his speed,Hitch him to an open sleighAnd crack! you’ll take the lead.
