JINGLE BELL ROCK

Live 06 Dec 2001 version



Well, jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bell chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air

What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Ah, jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh

(Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle with the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell rock)

Come on Soozie!

Oh!

Yeah, what a bright time, it's the right time (oh)
To rock the night away (oh)
Ah, jingle bell time is a swell time (oh)
(To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh)

Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell rock

That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell rock
