Jingle Bells Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way! Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way! Dashing through the snow ( jingle, jing, jing, jingle! ) Oh! jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way! Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way! A day or two ago ( a day or two ago . . . ) Oh! jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way! Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way! Now the ground is white ( jingle, jing, jing, jingle! ) Oh! jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way! Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way! "Jingle Bells" is one of the best known and commonly sung winter songs in the world. It was written by James Lord Pierpont (1822–1893) and copyrighted under the title 'One Horse Open Sleigh' on September 16, 1857. Despite being inextricably connected to Christmas, it is not specifically a Christmas song. It is one of many "joyful songs" written in New England during the late 19th century. Song Lyrics and song are property and copyright of their respective authors, artists and labels.

Lyrics listed in Public Domain
Oh what fun it is to ride, In a one-horse open sleigh,
Hey!
Oh what fun it is to ride,
In a one-horse open sleigh!
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 what fun it is to ride, In a one-horse open sleigh,
Hey!
Oh what fun it is to ride, In a one-horse open sleigh!
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 what fun it is to ride . . . ) In a one-horse open sleigh
Hey!
(oh what fun it is to ride . . . ) In a one-horse open sleigh
Hey!
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
An' crack you'll take the lead!
Oh what fun it is to ride, In a one-horse open sleigh,
Hey!
Oh what fun it is to ride . . . In a one-horse open sleigh!
