Duke Ellington & His Orchestra - Jingle bells - alternate version lyrics

Dashing through the snow In a one-horse open sleigh O'er the fields we go Laughing all the way (ha ha ha) Bells on bob-tails ring Making spirits bright Oh 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 Oh 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 ran into a drifted bank And there we got upshot A day or two ago The story I must tell I went out on the snow And on my back I fell A gent was riding by In a one-horse open sleigh He laughed at me as I there sprawling laid But quickly drove away Now the ground is white Go it while you're young Take the girls along And sing this sleighing song Just bet a bob-tailed bay Two-forty as his speed Hitch him to an open sleigh And, crack, you'll take the lead
