Song:
Jingle Bells
Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh
In a one-horse open sleigh
Over 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 all the way!
O’ what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle all the way!
O’ what a lot fun, what a lot fun to ride and sing in a one-horse open sleigh
