TOPIC: The classical Christmas song is performed here by the wonderful jazz singer, Diana Crall in her special style. The lyrics is not the same as of the original Jingle Bells song.

GRAMMAR: In this song you can find some examples of Infinitive (to+verb, e.g.: "to sing"), Gerund (verb+ing, e.g.: "laughing") and Bare Infinitive (the bare verb alone, like a headword in a dictionary). Gerund and Infinitive are nouns derived from verbs, so they act like nouns in the sentences, e.g.: they can be the subject of it (what the sentence is about). In 2nd person imperative sentences use Bare Infinitive, e.g.: "Take the girls tonight".

First, try to understand the song just by listening to it, then check your understanding and extend your vocabulary from the lyrics below.

Diana Crall - Jingle Bells (lyrics)

Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh,
Over the fields we go,
Laughing all the way;
Bells on bob-tail ring,
making spirits bright,
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight, O

Jingle bells, jingle bells,
jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh [repeat]

Now the ground is white
Go it while you're young,
Take the girls tonight
And sing this sleighing song;
Just get a bob-tailed bay
two-forty as his speed
Hitch him to an open sleigh
And crack! You'll take the lead

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells,
Jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh. [repeat]

Hey, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells,
Jingle jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells,
Jingle jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.
Jingle bells, jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.
Jingle bells, jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.

I'm just crazy about horses
