JINGLE BELLS Lyrics and Variations...

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 laugh 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

A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
We got into a drifted bank
And then we got upsot

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 yeah

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" is one of the best known and commonly sung winter songs in the world. It was written by James Lord Pierpont (18221893) and copyrighted under the title "One Horse Open Sleigh" on September 16, 1857. Despite being inextricably connected to Christmas, it is not specifically a Christmas song. It is one of many "joyful songs" written in New England during the late 19th century.

When James Lord Pierpont's song was originally published in 1857, it had a different chorus melody, which was more classical, even Mozart-like.[citation needed] The 1857 lyrics differed slightly from those we know today. (The original words are given below in square brackets.) It is unknown who replaced the chorus melody and the words with those of the modern version. The song was reprinted in 1859 with the revised title of "Jingle Bells, or the One Horse Open Sleigh."

"Jingle Bells" was first recorded by the Edison Male Quartette in 1898 on an Edison cylinder. In 1902, the Hayden Quartet recorded the song.

In 1943, Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters recorded "Jingle Bells" as Decca 23281 which reached No. 19 on the charts and sold over a million copies. In 1941, Glenn Miller and His Orchestra with Tex Beneke, Marion Hutton, Ernie Caceres and the Modernaires on vocals had a No. 5 hit with "Jingle Bells" on RCA Victor, as Bluebird 11353. In 1935, Benny Goodman and His Orchestra reached No. 18 on the charts with their recording of "Jingle Bells". In 1951, Les Paul had a No. 10 hit with a multi-tracked version on guitar. In 1955, Don Charles, from Copenhagen, Denmark, recorded a novelty version with dogs barking to the melody of "Jingle Bells" as RCA 6344, which sold a million copies.

Crosby sang a unique pronunciation of "jingle". The word is typically rendered "jing-gull", with a hard-G interposed. Crosby's version is "jing-ull", lacking the hard-G sound.

"Jingle Bells" has been performed and recorded by Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Dave Brubeck, Count Basie, Ray Brown, Oscar Peterson, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole and many more.

Oh, I love this so much. I'ts my favorite version of Jingle Bells.I love the violins in between the lines. And the cartoon is cute.

[chocho969]

[al1936ful]

@gregoryagogo I think maybe those verses were invented just for this cartoon.

[5senkyrs]

the world will end on that day or not

[gremashlo]

This is great!  My daughters got this on a cheap $1 VHS tape that we watched every year, until it finally 'died' this year...glad to find this!

If any of you out there have the 1985 VHS tape "See & Sing: Christmas Favorites" from Kid Stuff/Kid Vid, be sure to put it on YouTube before the end of the year. Apparently, it does exist, but it's a shame I've never seen it in person.

[VLPRESL]

didn't know that jingle bells has more verses than what we all know. so many greats of the past have recorded this song. i'm guessing your fav is the ella fitzgerald version:-)

[gregoryagogo]
