Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh,
A day or two ago, I thought I'd take a ride
A day or two ago, the story I must tell
Now the ground is white, go it while you're young
O'er the fields we go, laughing all the way.
And soon Miss Fanny Bright was seated by my side
I went out on the snow and on my back I fell
Take the girls along and sing this sleighing song
Bells on bob-tails ring, making spirits bright,
The horse was lean and lank, Misfortune seemed his lot
A gent was riding by in a one-horse open sleigh
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight. Oh!
We ran into a drifted bank and there we got upsot. Oh!
He laughed at me as I there lay but quickly drove away. Oh!
Hitch him to an open sleigh and crack! You'll take the lead. Oh!
~Chorus~
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh, hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
