Not on bells & xylophone, harmonica: no key keeps every note on those instruments without sharps, flats or bends.
Words (first verse)
Dashing through the snow In a onehorse open sleigh, O'er the fields we go, Laughing all the way;
Bells on bobtail ring, Making spirits bright; What fun it is to ride and sing A sleighing song tonight!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way! Oh, what fun it is to ride In a onehorse open sleigh!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way! Oh, what fun it is to ride In a onehorse open sleigh!
