Jingle bell jingle bell jingle bell rock jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell jingle bell jingle bell rock jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell square in the frosty air

What a bright time it's the right time to rock the night away
Jingle bells 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 mingle in a jinglin' beat that's the jingle bell rock





What a bright time...
