Jingle Bells (1946 Version)

Jingle bells, jingle bells,

Jingle all the way!

Oh what fun it is to ride,

In a one-horse open sleigh,

Hey!



Jingle bells, jingle bells,

Jingle all the way!

Oh what fun it is to ride,

In a one-horse open sleigh!



Dashing through the snow ( jingle, jing, jing, jingle! )

In a one-horse open sleigh  ( jingle, jing, jing, jingle! )

O'er the fields we go  ( o'er the fields, jingle, jingle! )

Laughin' all the way!

Bells on bob-tail ring ( jingle, jing, jing, jingle! )

Makin' spirits bright ( la, la, la la! )

What fun it is to ride an' 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,

Hey!



Jingle bells, jingle bells,

Jingle all the way!

Oh what fun it is to ride,

In a one-horse open sleigh!



<instrumental break >



A day or two ago ( a day or two ago . . . )

I thought i'd take a ride ( i thought i'd take a ride . . . )

And soon miss fanny bride ( and soon miss fanny bride . . . )

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!



Oh! jingle bells, jingle bells,

Jingle all the way!

( oh what fun it is to ride . . . )

In a one-horse open sleigh

Hey!



Jingle bells, jingle bells,

Jingle all the way!

( oh what fun it is to ride . . . )

In a one-horse open sleigh

Hey!



<instrumental break >



Now the ground is white ( jingle, jing, jing, jingle! )

Go it while you're young ( jingle, jing, jing, jingle! )

Take the girls tonight ( take the girls tonight . . . )

And sing this sleighing song

Just get a bob-tailed nag ( jingle, jing, jing, jingle! )

Two-forty for his speed

Then hitch
