- Dashing through the snow
- In a one-horse open sleigh
- O’er the fields we go
- Laughing all the way
- Bells on bobtails ring
- Making spirits bright
- What fun it is to laugh and sing
- A sleighing song tonight!
- (chorus)
- Jingle bells, jingle bells,
- Jingle all the way;
- Oh! what fun it is to ride
- In a one-horse open sleigh.
- 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
- He got into a drifted bank
- And then 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 lie,
- 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 bobtailed bay
- Two forty as his speed
- Hitch him to an open sleigh
- And crack! you’ll take the lead.
- |: chorus :|
