Sleigh Bells

Tinkle, tinkle, tinkle!

Happy winter-time!

Baby's eyes a-twinkle,

Hear the sleigh-bells chime!

Each one rings a merry

Ting-a-ling-a-ling!

For a sleigh-bell fairy

Hides inside to sing.

See them quake and quiver,

Up and downward tossed,

Seems as if they shiver

In the nipping frost!

Shiver into laughter,

Jolly little elves!

Till we laugh thereafter,

Merry as themselves!
