Andrea Bocelli & The Muppets

Jingle Bells 

*

Lyrics

 

Verse One

Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
O’er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bobtails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight

Chorus

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh, hey
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh

Verse Two

A day or two ago
I thought I’d take a ride
And soon, Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
He got into a drifted bank
And then we got upsot

Chorus

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh, hey
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh

Since the special ran during a pledge drive period for most PBS stations, a short interview with Miss Piggy, asking the viewers to “cough up some dough,” was included during a pledge drive break. The My Christmas CD and an extended edition DVD of this special were offered as gifts in return for donations to PBS stations. The DVD was also released for regular retail sale.
