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

Over the fields we go, laughing all the way
Bells on bob tails ring making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way

Dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh
Over the fields we go, laughing all the way

Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh
