Lyrics

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!

Dashing through the snow ( jingle, jing, jing, jingle! )
In a one-horse open sleigh ( jingle, jing, jing, jingle! )
O'er the fields we go ( o'er the fields, jingle, jingle! )
Laughin' all the way!
Bells on bob-tail ring ( jingle, jing, jing, jingle! )
Makin' spirits bright ( la, la, la la! )
What fun it is to ride an' sing
A sleighing song tonight!

Oh! 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!

≪instrumental break >

A day or two ago ( a day or two ago . . . )
I thought i'd take a ride ( I thought i'd take a ride . . . )
And soon miss fanny bride ( and soon miss fanny bride . . . )
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 up sot!

Oh! 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
Hey!

≪instrumental break >

Now the ground is white ( jingle, jing, jing, jingle! )
Go it while you're young ( jingle, jing, jing, jingle! )
Take the girls tonight ( take the girls tonight . . . )
And sing this sleighing song
Just get a bob-tailed nag ( jingle, jing, jing, jingle! )
Two-forty for his speed
Then hitch 'em to an open sleigh
An' crack you'll take the lead!

Oh! 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!
