Dashing through 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 laugh and 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
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way

Oh, 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

We got into a drifted bank
And then 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 bobtailed bay
Two forty as his speed
Hitch him to an open sleigh

And crack! you'll take the lead.
