Jingle Bells
Dashing through the snow,
in a one horse open sleigh,
o’er the fields we go,
laughing all the way.
Bells on bobtail ring,
making spirits bright,
what fun it is to ride and sing
a sleighing song tonight ! 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 !
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,
He got into a drifted bank and we, we got upsot ! 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 !
Jolly Old Saint Nicholas
Jolly old Saint Nicholas,
Lean your ear this way !
Don’t you tell a single soul
What I’m going to say ;
Christmas Eve is coming soon ;
Now, you dear old man,
Whisper what you’ll bring to me ;
Tell me if you can.
When the clock is striking twelve,
When I’m fast asleep,
Down the chimney broad and black,
With your pack you’ll creep ;
All the stockings you will find
Hanging in a row ;
Mine will be the shortest one,
You’ll be sure to know.
Johnny wants a pair of skates ;
Susy wants a sled ;
Nellie wants a picture book ;
Yellow, blue and red. ;
Now I think I’ll leave to you
what to give the rest.
Choose for me, dear Santa Claus,
You will know the best.
