Jingle Bells - by John Pierpont, new verses adapted by Mary Fran Yafchak and Bob Dixon
Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh,
Over the fields we go, laughing all the way.
Bells on bob-tails ring, making spirits bright,
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight.
Chorus
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.
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 strong, his stride a lively pace;
He took us up and o'er the hills like we were in a race!
Chorus
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.
A day or two ago, the story I must tell
I went out on the snow, and on my back I fell;
I waved my arms and legs in swoops to make some wings,
And gave the world a snow angel to see the joy it brings.
Chorus
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.
Now the ground is white, and hearts are feeling young,
Boys and girls tonight, come sing this sleighing song;
Just get the bob-tailed bay, a proud and prancing soul
Hitch him to an open sleigh and down the path you'll go!
Chorus
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.
