1. Dashing1 through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh, o’er the fields we go, laughing all the way.
Bells on bobtail2 ring, making spirits3 bright;
what fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight!
Chorus:
Jingle4 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.
2. 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 lean5 and lank6, misfortune7 seemed his lot, he got into a drifted bank8 and we, we got upsot9. Chorus:
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.
