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 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 Fanny 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 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 The story I must tell I went out on the snow And on my back I fell A gent was riding by In a one-horse open sleigh He laughed as there I sprawling lie But quickly drove away Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way O what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh 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 Ttwo-forty as his speed Hitch him to an open sleigh And crack! you'll take the lead Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way O what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh.
