Option 1: Traditional Lyrics (Standard Version)
(Verse 1)
Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
O’er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob-tail ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight
(Chorus)
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.
(Verse 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 then we got upsot.
(Chorus)
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.
(Verse 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.
(Chorus)
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.

Option 3: Article Snippet – The History of Jingle Bells
"Jingle Bells," one of the most recognizable and beloved Christmas songs, has a surprisingly secular origin. Written by James Lord Pierpont, it wasn’t initially a Christmas carol at all! Originally titled "One Horse Open Sleigh," it was composed in the 1850s, possibly in Medford, Massachusetts, and published in 1857. Some historians believe it was written for a Thanksgiving celebration, intended to be a lively and fun winter song, rather than specifically for Christmas. The song gained popularity over the years and eventually became associated with the Christmas season due to its themes of winter, sleigh rides, and festive cheer. Its simple melody and catchy lyrics have made it a favorite for generations, transcending its non-religious roots to become a staple of Christmas celebrations worldwide.
Option 4: Modernized Lyrics (Still Family-Friendly)
(Verse 1)
Cruising through the snow,
In a fast and fun new ride,
With my friends we go,
Smiling side by side.
Music’s playing loud,
Spreading Christmas cheer,
Singing with the happy crowd,
The best time of the year!
(Chorus)
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Ringing out so clear!
Oh, what fun it is to share
Christmas joy and cheer.
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Ringing out so clear!
Oh, what fun it is to share
Christmas joy and cheer.
(Verse 2)
The snow is falling down,
Making everything so white,
We’re driving through the town,
Shining oh so bright.
Hot cocoa in our hands,
Keeps us warm and cozy,
Making memories in these lands,
Feeling happy, can you see?
(Chorus)
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Ringing out so clear!
Oh, what fun it is to share
Christmas joy and cheer.
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Ringing out so clear!
Oh, what fun it is to share
Christmas joy and cheer.
