Dashing through the snow,
In a one horse open sleigh.
O’er the fields we go
Laughing all the way.
Bells on bobtail ring
Making spirits bright,
Oh what fun to ride and sing,
A sleighing song tonight!
Chorus:
oh, 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 Fannie 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!
Now the ground is white,
Go do it while you’re young.
Take the girls tonight,
And sing this sleighing song.
Just get a bobtailed bay,
Two forty for his speed,
Then hitch him to an open sleigh And crack! You’ll take the lead.
