Jingle Bells

		
	Dashing through the snow
	In a one-horse open sleigh
	Through 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,
		Oh what fun it is to ride
		In a one-horse open sleigh, O
		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 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 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.
