Jingle Bells and Polesome Prison Blues Lyrics

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 ride and sing a sleighing song tonight. Oh!

Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way!

O what fun it is to ride, In a one-horse open sleigh, hey!

Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way!

O 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 upsot. Oh!

Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way!

O what fun it is to ride, In a one-horse open sleigh, hey!

Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way!

O what fun it is to ride, In a one-horse open sleigh

I hear the sleigh a-comin', it's landing on your house

There ain't a creature stirring, no not one little mouse,

I'm sprung from North Pole Prison, paroled one night a year,

I'm in on trumped-up charges, got life for rustlin' reindeer.

Now Mrs. Claus she told me, 'Go out and have your fun,

You know who's nice and naughty, but remember, they're so young.'

But I coaled a kid in Bristol, just to watch him cry,

Then snuck back up the chimney, and made those reindeer fly.

Well all around the world the folks are waiting up for me

Seven billion people sittin' near their Christmas trees,

Oh, they know that I'll be coming, their hearts will fill with glee,

But these damn sleigh bells keep a-ringing, and that's what tortures me.

Well if they freed me from this prison, if they thought that I'd reformed,

You bet your ass that I would move to someplace nice and warm,

Far from North Pole Prison, so far away from here,

But still, I wish you Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!

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 ride and sing a sleighing song tonight. Oh!

Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way!

O what fun it is to ride, In a one-horse open sleigh, hey!

Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way!

O what fun it is to ride, In a one-horse open sleigh!
