music, lyrics, song facts, printables for kids learning English


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

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh

The song was written by James Lord Pierpont and was copyrighted on September 16, 1857 with the title One Horse Open Sleigh.

Jingle Bells was the first song ever played in outer space. On December 16, 1965, the Gemini 6 crew played it on a harmonica and bells.
