and here's the _full_ lyrics... including one verse i hadn't heard before!

Jingle bells:

1. Dashing through the snow, 

on a one horse open sleigh,

o'er the hills 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...

chorus:

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.

oh what fun it is to ride on a one horse open sleigh!

jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,

oh what fun it is to ride on a one horse open sleigh!

2. 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.

3. A day or two ago,

the story I must tell

I went out on the snow

And on my back I fell;

A gent was riding by

In a one-horse open sleigh,

He laughed as there I sprawling lie,

But quickly drove away.

4. Now the ground is white

Go it while you're young,

Take the girls tonight

And sing this sleighing song;

Just get a bob-tailed bay

two-forty as his speed

Hitch him to an open sleigh

And crack! you'll take the lead.

hope everyone enjoys singing along. i know my kids did! :)
