Jingle Bells
~ 1946 recorded
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride,
In a one-horse open sleigh,
Hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride,
In a one-horse open sleigh!
Dashing through the snow
(
jingle, jing, jing, jingle! )
In a one-horse open sleigh
(
jingle, jing, jing, jingle! )
O’er the fields we go
(
o'er the fields, jingle, jingle! )
Laughin’ all the way!
Bells on Bob-Tail ring
(
jingle, jing, jing, jingle! )
Makin’ spirits bright
(
la, la, la la! )
What fun it is to ride an’ sing,
A sleighing song tonight!
Oh! Jingle
bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all
the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride,
In a one-horse open sleigh,
Hey!
Jingle
bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all
the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride,
In a one-horse open sleigh!
<instrumental break >
A
day or two ago
(
A day or two ago . . . )
I thought
I’d take a ride (
I thought I’d take a ride . . . )
And soon
Miss Fanny Bride
(
And soon Miss Fanny Bride . . . )
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 up sot!
Oh! Jingle
bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all
the way!
( Oh what
fun it is to ride . . . )
In a
one-horse open sleigh
Hey!
Jingle
bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all
the way!
( Oh what
fun it is to ride . . . )
In a
one-horse open sleigh
Hey!
<instrumental break >
Now the ground is white
(
jingle, jing, jing, jingle! )
Go it while you’re young
(
jingle, jing, jing, jingle! )
Take the girls tonight
(
Take the girls tonight . . . )
And sing this sleighing song
Just get a Bob-Tailed Nag
(
jingle, jing, jing, jingle! )
Two-forty for his speed
Then hitch ‘em to an open sleigh,
An’ crack you’ll take the lead!
Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride,
In a one-horse open sleigh,
Hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride . . .
In a one-horse open sleigh!
