Jingle
Bells
Tekst:
James Pierpont
Dashing through the snow in a one-horse open
sleigh,
Over 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;
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;
He got into a drifted bank, and we, we got
up sot.
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, this 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 as there I sprawling lie, but quickly
drove away.
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.
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.
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.
