CHORUS:
Jingle bells - jingle bells
jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride
in a one-horse open sleigh - hey!

Jingle bells - jingle bells
jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride
in a one-horse open sleigh

VERSE 1:
Dashing through the snow
in a one-horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
laughing all the way [HA HA HA]

Bells on bobtail ring
making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
a sleighing song tonight - oh!

[REPEAT CHORUS]

VERSE 2:
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

[REPEAT CHORUS]

VERSE 3:
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 - ah!

[REPEAT CHORUS]

VERSE 4:
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

[REPEAT CHORUS]
