Jingle Bells
Dashing though the snow
In one horse open sleigh,
Over the fields we go
Laughing all the way
on bop tail ring,
Making spirits bright,
What fun it ‘s to ride and
Our sleighing song
Oh! Jingle Bells! Jingle Bells!
Jingle all the way!
what fun it is to ride
In one horse open sleigh! Hey
Jingle Bells! Jingle Bells!
Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it’s to ride
In one horse open sleigh….
Bells
sing
tonight !
Oh
Good bye class!
