Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
Through the fields we go
Laughing all the way

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

Oh 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 ran into a drifted bank
And there we got upshot
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 at me as I there sprawling laid
But quickly drove away

Now the ground is white
Go it while you're young
Take the girls along
And sing this sleighing song

Just bet a bobtailed bay
Two forty as his speed
Hitch him to an open sleigh
And crack, you'll take the lead
