4. Jingle Bells - verse

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!

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

(repeat once)

5. Inspiration

Jingle Bells was written by James Lord Pierpont in Salem in New England on a Thanksgiving day of 1840, inspired by sights seen looking out the window, and needing a church song (though critics today dispute that claim, saying it was too secular to be sung in a church).
