Lyrics:

Verse 1

Chorus

Verse 2

Verse 3

Dashing through the snow   In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go Laughing all the way
Bells on bob tails ring   Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh 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
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 got into a drifted bank   And then we got upsot

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

Composer:

Wikipedia states that Jingle Bells" is one of the best-known and commonly sung American Christmas songs in the world. It was written by James L. Pierpont (1822–1893) and published under the title "One Horse Open Sleigh" in the autumn of 1857. Even though it is now associated with the Christmas and holiday season, it was actually originally written for American Thanksgiving." Check this site for more information.
