Lyrics:

James Lord Pierpont publ. 1857

(Jingle ling a ling, Ahhh)
(Jingle ling a ling, Ahhh)

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

Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.

(Jingle ling a ling, Ahhh)
(Jingle ling a ling, Ahhh)

Now the ground is white
So go it while you're young,
Take the girls tonight
And sing this sleighing song.

Just get a bob-tailed nag
Two-forty for his speed
And hitch him to an open sleigh
And crack! you'll take the lead.

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells,
Jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells,
Jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh...
