Dashing through the snow
\nIn a one-horse open sleigh
\nThrough the fields we go
\nLaughing all the way.
\nBells on bob-tail ring
\nMaking spirits bright
\nWhat fun it is to ride and sing
\nA sleighing song tonight.
\nChorus:
\nJingle bells, jingle bells
\nJingle all the way,
\nOh what fun it is to ride
\nIn a one-horse open sleigh, O
\nJingle bells, jingle bells
\nJingle all the way,
\nOh what fun it is to ride
\nIn a one-horse open sleigh.
\nA day or two ago
\nI thought I’d take a ride
\nAnd soon Miss Fanny Bright
\nWas seated by my side;
\nThe horse was lean and lank
\nMisfortune seemed his lot,
\nWe ran into a drifted bank
\nAnd there we got upsot.
\nA day or two ago
\nThe story I must tell
\nI went out on the snow
\nAnd on my back I fell;
\nA gent was riding by
\nIn a one-horse open sleigh
\nHe laughed at me as
\nI there sprawling laid
\nBut quickly drove away.
\nNow the ground is white,
\nGo it while you’re young,
\nTake the girls along
\nAnd sing this sleighing song.
\nJust bet a bob-tailed bay,
\nTwo-forty as his speed,
\nHitch him to an open sleigh and crack!
\nYou’ll take the lead<\/p>\n
