Jingle bells
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
Repeat chorus Verse:
Dashing thro` the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh.
O`er the fields we go, laughing all the way.
Bells on bob-tails ring, making spirits bright,
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight.
Chorus Repeat chorus Verse:
A day or two ago, i thought i`d take a ride
And soon miss fanny bright
Was seated at my side
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
He got into and drifted back, and we we`ve got upset
