Jingle Bells

Danny Kaye · Five Pennies,The [2010]

Dashing through the snow

In a one-horse open sleigh

O'er the fields we go

Laughing all the way (ha ha ha)

Bells on bob-tails ring

Making spirits bright

Oh what fun it is to ride and 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

Oh 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 fanny bright

Was seated by my side

The horse was lean and lank

Misfortune seemed his lot

We ran into a drifted bank

And there we got upshot



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 at me as

I there sprawling laid

But quickly drove away



Now the ground is white

Go it while you're young

Take the girls along

And sing this sleighing song

Just bet a bob-tailed bay

Two-forty as his speed

Hitch him to an open sleigh

And, crack, you'll take the lead
