ING a jing, a jing, jing
Jing, jing, jing;
How clear the sleigh bells ring!
Sweetly through the air
Their voices fair
Sing, ting a ling, a jing, jing, jing!

You said he'd be here by half past ten,
There's still a minute to go,
But, mother dear, think; it's Christmas Day
I wonder what makes him so slow!
I've flown to the window fourteen times
When I've .heard the sleigh bells ring,
Cutters fly past us and do not stop
, They fool me like everything!
Oh, there he is now! Oh, where's my tarn,
I had it on long ago; '
Oh goody, we'll start for grandma's house
A nice long drive in the snow.
Oh, mother, look, how she shakes her bells,
A musical sound they bring,
And all the way to grandma's house
We'll hear them ring and ring!
Hello, Uncle Ned ! Will you let me drive,
You say she's so hard to hold.
Even I can see that and her wicked glance!
We'd all be flung out in the cold.
Oh yes, I am comfy and ever so warm ;
I even feel sleepy, too.
So, mother dear, wake me when we come in
sight
Of grandmother's house, please do!
You say we're most there and I'd better awake
' Why I've hardly closed an eye.
With sleigh bells alive in cold clean air
How long I have slept, oh my!
There's grandma, the dear, she has seen us
from far.-
With a ting a ling o'er the snow,
And grandpap too, and our Uncle Bob
iTheir faces so sweet I know.
To celebrate Christmas is ever so fine
And best of it all to me
I think I like most that snowy drive
On our way to our Christmas tree.
Jing a jing, a jing, jing,
Jing, jing, jing;
How clear the sleigh bells ring!
Sweetly through the air
Their voices fair
Sing, ting a ling, a jing, jing, jing!
