So this is Christmas

Jingle bells

Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh,
o’er the fields we go, laughing all the way.
Bells on bob-tails ring, making spirits bright,
oh, what fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight.

Refrein:
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.

Refrein

A day or two ago, the 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 lay, but quickly drove away.

Refrein

Now the ground is white, go at 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.
