Jingle Bells Rock

Quite often a familiar song will just keep running through my brain, especially after not hearing it for quite a while. Well, for the last week I have been playing “Jingle Bell Rock” over and over on the old noggin juke box. In case you have forgotten, it was written and sung (at least originally) by Bobby Helms. It’s really a great Christmas holiday song, lasting past Christmas and into a snowy winter. I can’t get it out of my head, especially the bridge.

Here are the lyrics. If you actually know the tune, I defy you not to start singing it in your head.

Jingle Bell Rock

(Bobby Helms)
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air.
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet
That's the jingle bell,
That's the jingle bell,
That's the jingle bell rock
