Sing-along lyrics for Let’s All Sing for Christmas:

Jingle Bells Dashing thro’ the snow in a one horse 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 one horse open sleigh! Jingle bells! Jingle bells! Jingle all the way! Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh!

Jolly Old Saint Nicholas Jolly old Saint Nicholas, lean your ear this way! Don’t you tell a single soul what I’m going to say; Christmas Eve is coming soon; now, you dear old man, Whisper what you’ll bring to me; tell me what you can.

When the clock is striking twelve, when I’m fast asleep, Down the chimney broad and black, with your pack you’ll creep. All the stockings you will find hanging in a row; Mine will be the shortest one, you’ll be sure to know.

O Christmas Tree O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree! You fill my heart with music;

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree! You fill my heart with music;

Your boughs are green in summer’s glow, And do not fade in winter’s snow.

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree! You fill my heart with music.

Up on the Housetop Up on the housetop reindeer pause, Out jumps good old Santa Claus; Down thru the chimney with lots of toys, All for the little ones, Christmas joys.

Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn’t go! Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn’t go! Up on the housetop click, click, click, Down thro’ the chimney with good Saint Nick. (Repeat chorus)
