Dashing through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh,
    O'er the fields [hills] we go, laughing all the way.
    Bells on bobtail ring, making spirits bright,
    What fun it is [Oh what sport] to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight.
        |:Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.
        O, what fun [joy] 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 Fannie Bright was seated by my side.
    The horse was lean and lank, misfortune seemed his lot,
    He got into a drifted bank and we [we, we] got upsot.
        |:Refrain:|
    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 as there I sprawling lie, But quickly drove away.
        |:Refrain:|
    Now the ground is white, go it while you're young,
    Take the girls tonight and sing this sleighing song.
    Just get a bobtailed bay, two-forty for his speed,
    Then hitch him to an open sleigh, and crack! You'll take the lead.
        |:Refrain:|

Der Text in Takt 24 sollte "sleigh" sein, das ist ein "t" zuviel.
