Dashing through the snow, on a one horse open sleigh, with Teddy bears!
This is the full version of Jingle Bells with all four verses.

The first verse is the most often sung; the third verse about falling over in the snow is often skipped.
Origin:
Jingle Bells was written by James Lord Pierpont under the title ‘One Horse Open Sleigh’ in 1857 and was inspired by sleigh races held in Medford, Massachusetts in the early 1800's.
The song has been recorded by many famous singers including Bing Crosby and Dolly Parton. It was also the first song ever broadcast from space when on 16th December 1965 astronauts Tom Stafford and Wally Schirra suggested they had spotted Santa in his sleigh and performed an impromptu version with a smuggled harmonica and sleigh bells live from Gemini VI.
Lyrics:
Dashing through the snow In a one-horse open sleigh O'er the fields we goLaughing all the way Bells on bobtail 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 rideIn a one-horse open sleigh.Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way; Oh! what fun it is to rideIn a one-horse open sleigh.
A day or two agoI 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 lotHe got into a drifted bank And then we got upsot.|: chorus :|
A day or two ago, The story I must tellI went out on the snow, And on my back I fell; A gent was riding byIn a one-horse open sleigh,He laughed as there I sprawling lie, But quickly drove away.|: chorus :|
Now the ground is white Go it while you're young,Take the girls tonightand sing this sleighing song; Just get a bobtailed bay Two forty as his speedHitch him to an open sleigh And crack! you'll take the lead.|: chorus :|
