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!
What fun it is to ride and sing
In a one horse open sleigh!
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!
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!)
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.
Oh, what fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight.
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

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
