Jingle Bells

"Jingle Bells" is one of the best known and commonly sung Christmas songs in the world. It was written by James Lord Pierpont and published under the title "One Horse Open Sleigh" in 1857. Despite being widely regarded as a Christmas song, it is said to have been written about Thanksgiving.

Lyrics

 * Dashing through the snow
 * In a one horse open sleigh
 * O'er the fields we go
 * Laughing all the way
 * Bells on bobtails ring
 * Making spirits bright
 * What fun it is laugh and sing
 * A sleighing song tonight


 * [Chorus]
 * 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 then we got upsot


 * [Chorus]


 * Now the ground is white
 * Go it while you're young
 * Take the girls tonight
 * And sing the sleighing song
 * Just get a bobtailed bay
 * Two forty as his speed
 * Hitch him to an open sleigh
 * And crack you'll take the lead
