Jinglebell, jinglebell, JingleBell Rock, jinglebell swing and jinglebell ring,

Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun, Now the jinglehop has begun,

Jinglebell, jinglebell, Jinglebell Rock, jinglebells chime in jinglebell time,

Dancin' and prancin' in Jinglebell Square, in the frosty air.

What a bright time, it's the right time to rock the night away,

Jinglebelltime is a swell time, to go glidin' in a onehorse sleigh.

Giddyap, jinglehorse pick up your feet, jingle around the clock,

Mix and mingle in a jinglein' beat, that's the JingleBell Rock.
