lyrics

Dashing through the snow

In Gran-paw's open sleigh
O'er saloons we go

Laughing all the way
Filling up our boots
And looking for a fight

What fun it is to ride and shoot
A slaying song tonight!

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh! what fun it is to ride
Gran-paw gonna slay* / In Gran-paw's open sleigh

Now the ground is white
Go it while you're young

Take the twins tonight
And sing this raucous song
The girls yelped hey hey hey

A gent he looked inside

He laughed as there I sprawling lay

So I shot him in the eye

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh! what fun it is to ride
Gran-paw gonna slay* / In Gran-paw's open sleigh
Oh! what fun it is to ride
Gran-paw gonna slay* / In Gran-paw's open sleigh

( *sings Gran-paw Frankee )

Adapted from James Lord Pierpont's lyrics
by the Cussin' Cousins
