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

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
O, 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 got upsot

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

Now the ground is white, go it while you're young
Take 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
