VocalEssence Ensemble Singers

Dashing through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh,
O’er the fields we go, laughing all the way;
Bells on bobtails ring, making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight!

Refrain:
Oh, 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, jingle all the way!
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh!

Day or two ago, I thought I’d take a ride,
Soon Miss Fannie Bright was seated by my side.
The horse was lean and lank, misfortune seemed his lot
He got into a drifted bank and we, we got upsot! Refrain

Now the ground is white, go it while you’re young;
Take the girls tonight and sing this sleighing song;
Just get a bobtailed nag, two forty for his speed,
Then hitch him to an open sleigh and crack! You’ll take the lead.
Refrain
