“Jingle Bells” is one of the best-known and commonly sung winter songs in the world. It was written by James Lord Pierpont (1822–1893) and published under the title “One Horse Open Sleigh” in the autumn of 1857. Even though it is commonly thought of as a Christmas song, it was actually written and sung for Thanksgiving. It was the first song broadcast from space, in a Christmas-themed prank by Gemini 6 astronauts Tom Stafford and Wally Schirra.
The first verse and chorus are the most well-remembered sections of “Jingle Bells”:
- Dashing through the snow
- In a one-horse open sleigh
- O’er the fields we go
- Laughing all the way
- Bells on bobtail ring
- Making spirits bright
- What fun it is to laugh and sing
- A sleighing song tonight!
- (chorus)
- 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.
