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.

Chorus:
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 Fannie 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 upsot.

Chorus

Now the ground is white, go it while you're young,
Take the girls tonight, and sing this sleighing song;
Just get a bob-tailed bay, two-forty as his speed,
Hitch him to an open sleigh, and crack! you'll the lead.

Chorus
