James Lord Pierpont
Jingle Bells
[Verse 1]
Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
Over the hills we go
Laughing all the way
The bells on bobtail ring
They make spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight

[Chorus]
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
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

[Verse 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 lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
We got into a drifted bank
And we will got upsot
[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 4]
Now the ground is white
To go while we are young
Take the girls tonight
And sing this sleighing song
Just get a bobtailed bay
Two-forty is his speed
Then hitch him to an open sleigh
And crack! You'll take the lead, oh!

[Chorus]
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
