Jingle Bells
Jingle Bells was originally called "One Horse Open Sleigh". It was written by James Lord Pierpont and copyrighted under the title 'One Horse Open Sleigh' in 1857.
There many crazy versions of this song. Batman smells, Robin laid an egg is the one version that I can remember from when I was a kid. That was a long time ago, I have yet to teach that version to the grand kids, not sure their parents would appreciate it!
Jingle Bells
Jingle bells, jingle bellsJingle 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
Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob tails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight
Oh,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
Now the ground is white,
Go it while you're young
Take the girls tonight,
and sing this sleighing song;
Just get a bobtailed bay,
Two forty for his speed
Then hitch him to an open sleigh
and crack and take the lead
Oh, 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
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
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
