JINGLE BELLS
 
Dashing  through the snow in a one horse open sleigh
(and) over the fields we go laughing all the way.
(The) bells on bobtail ring making spirits bright.
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song  tonight.
 
      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.
 
Day  or two ago I thought I'd take a ride
and soon Miss Fanny Bright was seated at (by) my side.
The horse was lean and lank, misfortune seemed his lot,
he got into a drifted bank and where (we,) we got  upset.
 
      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.
 
Now the ground is white; go it while you're young,
take a ride (the girls) tonight and sing this sleighing song.
Just get a bobtailed bay, two-forty for his speed;
then hitch him to an open sleigh and crack you'll take the  lead.
 
      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.
