1. Strophe:
Dashing through the snow on a one-horse open sleigh over the fields we go laughing all the way; bells on bob-tail 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. Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way! O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
2. Strophe:
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; he got into a drifted bank and we got up sot. Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way! O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh. Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way! O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
3. Strophe:
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. Jingle ells, jingle bells, jingle all the way! O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh. Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way! O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
4. Strophe:
Now the ground is white go it while you’re young take the girls tonight and sing this sleighing song; just get a bob-tailed bay two-forty as his speed hitch him to an open sleigh and crack! you’ll take the lead. Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way! O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh. Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way! O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
