James Lord Pierpont
Jingle Bells (2022)
[Intro]
Gather round everybody
Here's one we can all sing together
Here we go

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

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh, hey
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
Help me out now
[Verse 2]
A day or two ago (Other day)
I thought I'd take a ride (Take a ride)
Soon my Jilly bean (Jilly bean)
Was seated at my side (By my side)
The horse was lean and lank (Lean and lank)
Misfortune seemed his lot (Seemed his lot)
He got into a drifted bank
And then we got upsot (Whatever that means ,now)

[Chorus]
(Jingle bells, jingle bells) Oh, sing
(Jingle all the way) Yeah
(Oh, what fun it is to ride)
(In a one horse open sleigh, hey)
That sounds a little stiff
I'm thinking maybe y’all could loosen it up a little bit, you know?
(Ah ba ba squee squee sa ba da zee zee da)
Oh, now you're talking
Play it now

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
(Sach doo yoo loo doo da, sach doo yoo loo doo da, da)
Guys, that's my piano break, take it down a notch
(Sach doo yoo loo doo da, sach doo yoo loo doo da, da)
Alright, last verse
[Verse 3]
Now the ground is white (Pretty snow)
Go it while you're young (While you're young)
Take the girls tonight (Take 'em out)
And sing this sleighing song (Jingle bells)
Get a bobtailed bay (What is that?)
Two forty at his speed (Is that fast?)
Hitch him to an open sleigh
Crack, you'll have the lead, come on

[Chorus]
Jingle bells, jingle bells
J-j-j-jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh, hey
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
Key change, y'all
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jing-jing-jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
Where’s my backup singers at?
(We never go anywhere)
(Yeah, jingle bells)
Oh, jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
[Outro]
Let me play this piano
Meet you by the snowman
Yeah
