Lyrics
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
Dashing through the snow
On a one-horse open sleigh
Over the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob-tail ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
O 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 we, we got upshot
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells
Jingle all the way
What fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells
Jingle all the way
What fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
What fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
