Jingle Bell Rock
The Alan Peters Orchestra And Chorus Lyrics

Jingle bells, jingle bells
The sound of the jingling bells is heard as the ride begins

Jingle all the way
The jingling bells continue to sound throughout the journey

Oh, what fun it is to ride
The experience of riding in a one-horse open sleigh is enjoyable and exciting

In a one-horse open sleigh, hey
The vehicle used for the ride is a one-horse open sleigh

Dashing through the snow
The sleigh is moving quickly through the snow-covered landscape

In a one-horse open sleigh
The type of vehicle being used for transportation is a one-horse open sleigh

Over the fields we go
The ride takes the passengers over open fields

Laughin' all the way
The people in the sleigh are having a good time and enjoying themselves

Bells on Bob-Tail ring
The bells attached to the horse's tail are ringing and making a cheerful sound

Makin' spirits bright
The sound of the bells and the experience of the ride is lifting people's moods and making them feel happy

What fun it is to ride and sing
The combination of riding and singing a sleighing song creates a unique and enjoyable experience

A day or two ago
The artist is recalling a recent experience from a few days ago

I thought I'd take a ride
The singer decided to go for a ride in a one-horse open sleigh

And soon Miss Fanny Bride
The singer was joined on the ride by a woman named Miss Fanny Bride

The horse was lean and lank
The horse pulling the sleigh was thin and not very muscular

Misfortune seemed his lot
The horse seemed to be having bad luck or facing difficult circumstances

He got into a drifted bank
The horse accidentally veered into a snowdrift

And we, we got up sot
As a result of the horse's mishap, the passengers fell out of the sleigh

Now the ground is white
The landscape has become covered in snow

Go it while you're young
The artist is encouraging others to take advantage of their youth and enjoy the experience of sleigh riding while they can

Take the girls tonight
The artist suggests that others take a female companion with them for the sleigh ride

And sing this sleighing song
The passengers are encouraged to join in and sing the sleighing song featured in the lyrics

Just get a Bob-Tailed Nag
The singer advises others to use a horse with a short, docked tail for the ride

Two-forty for his speed
The horse being recommended should be fast and able to run at a speed of 2:40

Then hitch 'em to an open sleigh
This particular recommended horse should be hitched to an open sleigh

And crack you'll take the lead
By using the horse and sleigh recommended, the passengers will be able to lead the pack of other sleighs and horses
