Dashing through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh;
O'er 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!
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.
A day or two ago I thought I'd take a ride,
And soon Miss Fannie 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.
Now the ground is white go it while you're young,
Take the girls tonight, and sing this sleighing song;
Just get a bobtailed nag, two-forty for his speed,
Then hitch him to an open sleigh and, crack, you'll take the lead.
