Bobby Helms “Jingle Bell Rock”
“Jingle Bell Rock” was first released in 1957 and was played in the “Rockabilly” style rather than Rock and Roll. Bobby Helms released several recordings of the track and it was covered by Bill Haley & His Comet. Some of you may remember the Muppets version played by “Electric Mayhem” – the Muppets’ band with Animal on the drums. It is played on the Muppet Family Christmas and includes lots of saxophone and is considerably more upbeat than the original.
Bobby Helms “Jingle Bell Rock” Lyrics
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin’ and blowin’ up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin’ and prancin’ 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 glidin’ in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin’ feet
That’s the jingle bell rock
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin’ and prancin’ 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 glidin’ in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin’ feet
That’s the jingle bell
That’s the jingle bell
That’s the jingle bell rock
