Lyrics

Jin gle bell, jin gle bell, jin gle bell rock,

jin gle bells swing and jin gle bells ring.

Snow in’ and blow in’ up bush els of fun;

now the jin gle hop has be gun.

Jin gle bell, jin gle bell, jin gle bell rock,

jin gle bells chime in jin gle bell time,

danc in’ and pranc in’ in Jin gle Bell Square

in the frost y air.

What a bright time, it’s the right time to rock the night a way.

Jin gle bell time is a swell time

to go glid in’ in a one horse sleigh.

Gid dy ap, jin gle horse, pick up your feet,

jin gle a round the clock.

Mix and min gle in a jin gl in’ beat,

that’s the jin gle bell, that’s the jin gle bell, that’s the jin gle bell rock.

(That’s the jin gle bell rock!) Yeah!
