Jangle Bells

Trudging through the snow with a mule tied to a shay

The dern mule wouldn't go we ** him all the way

The bobtailed fool sat down like he was outta breath

It took all night to get him home

And we dern near froze to death

Jangle bells jangle bells o what misery

Don't hitch up old dobbin if you're comin' after me

Jangle bells jangle bells jangle all the way

You can have your open shay I'll keep my chevrolet

Sliding down a hill on an old ramshackle sled

Laughing fit to kill at something someone said

Forgot to watch the road not watchin' where we went

We ran into a barbed wire fence and got our

Christmas spirits skinned

Jangle bells jangle bells I have paid the price

Busted bones aches and groans from fallin' on the ice

Jangle bells jangle bells dashin' through the hills

All we'll get for Christmas is a flock of doctor bills

Slippin' down the street on an old banana peel

Could not stay on my feet they were slicker than an eel

My feet flew in the air and I let out a yell

I landed on my pocketbook and I broke my jangle bell

Jangle bells jangle bells ringin' in my head

Oh what fun it is to slip and slither on a sled

Jangle bells jangle bells

Like the wise man said

Be careful where you slide

Or you'll spend Christmas day in bed

I've got an old tom cat and Santa is his name

I keep him nice and fat but he hates me

Just the same

He got at me today with those needles in his paws

And now I'm wearin' bandages on account

Of Santa's claws

Jangle bells jangle bells jangle all the way

We don't know all the words but we'll sing it anyway

Jangle bells jangle bells ringin' loud and gay

We'll be hearin' jangle bells from now till Christmas day
