Jingle Bells
1.Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse
open sleigh,
Over 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!
2.A day or two ago, I thought I’d take a ride,
And soon Miss Fannie Bright was sitting by my side.
The horse was lean and lank, misfortune was his lot.
He got into a snowdrift bank – and we? We got upset!
Chorus
3. So now the moon is bright, enjoy it while you are young.
Invite your friends tonight to sing this sleighing song.
Just get a bob-tailed nag and give him extra feed.
Then hitch him to an open sleigh – and crack! You’ll take the lead!
Chorus
