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? |
