Jingle bells, jingle bells
sings old Father Time
Oh, what fun I had that day  
making fools of everyone.  

Laughing every day
see the children play
and then before you know it
you’re an adult passed your prime.

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells,
take me Father Time
back again to when I wore
stiletto heels and beehives.

Dancing every night
flirting with a male
learning to drive a black car
with a pink stripe down the side.

Oh, Jingle bells, jingle bells,
where is Father Time?
He left me here all alone
to grow older every day.

I can’t climb a ladder
swing between the trees
or trip the light fantastic
from morning till midnight.  

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells,
why am I so old
with burning flames of passion
and no lover in my bed?

I can say, “I love you”
tickle your fancy
but ask me to climb mountains
and my muscles turn to fat.  

Oh, Jingle bells, jingle bells,
farewell Father Time
you said you’d love me always
then send me to heaven dead!

Christmas songs will never be the same.  I enjoyed your take on my favorite song of the holidays.

Thanks for the read.  I suppose there are many variations of jingle bells out there somewhere.  Why don't you try one?
