Winter Fantasy

Chorus:Snowflakes falling all over town, slipping, sliding, ev’rybody rushin’ ‘round There’s an icy chill in the air, telling us that winter’s really here. Oh, I’m so glad that winter is here. Grab your sled and let out a happy cheer because it’s snowing, blowing, all through the day. Winter winds will surely blow all your cares away.

Chorus: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 laugh and sing a sleighing song tonight. Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way. Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh. Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way. Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
