Straight No Chasers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh
Hey, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh
Hey, dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh
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
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh
Hey, 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, jing, jing
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle, jingle
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jing, jing
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle, jingle bells
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
We got into a drifted bank and then we got upsot, upsot?
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jing, jing
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle, jing
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jing, jing
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle, jingle
Dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh
Over the fields we go laughing all the way, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
Bells on bob tails ring, making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing a sleighing song tonight
The lyrics of "Jingle Bell Rock" by Straight No Chaser are a fun and uplifting ode to winter activities. The song begins with an image of dashing through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh. The jingle bells on the horse's harness "jingle all the way," making for a festive winter sound. The second verse continues with the image of sleighing, accompanied by laughter and bells on bob tails ringing. The lyrics also suggest that singing a sleighing song together is a fun activity on a winter's night.
The third verse is a bit of a story, as the singer recounts taking a ride with Miss Fanny Bright. The horse they're riding is described as lean and lank, perhaps not the most impressive animal to be pulling the sleigh. They run into misfortune when they get stuck in a drifted bank and become "upsot" (upset or turned over). However, this doesn't dampen the overall joyful tone of the song, as the chorus repeats the fun of jingling all the way and riding in a one-horse open sleigh.
Overall, the lyrics of "Jingle Bell Rock" convey a sense of fun and exhilaration in wintertime activities. The idea of jingling bells and laughing while sleighing suggests a sense of community and shared experience.

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell rock
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell rock
