Jingle Bell Rock
Mike & Dean Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
Over the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bop tails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and 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

Oh, 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 nag
Two-forty for his speed
Then hitch him to an open sleigh
And crack, you'll take the lead

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh

Come on, Prancer and dancer
Go on, get out of here

Gotta say that Mike sounds good here. Gets some great passages. "Jingle bell time, well it's a swell time." Probably one of his best vocals since All I Want To Do.
