Jingle Bells

Jingle Bells is a popular Christmas song written by James Pierpont. It is featured in the show quite often, some of the most notable appearances being both the very first episode, Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire, and $pringfield (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling). Both versions contain a popular children's parody containing references to Batman. The latter was sung by the late Robert Goulet and appears as the seventh track on the album Songs in the Key of Springfield.

Lyrics

Springfield Elementary's version

Dashing through the snow

In a one horse open sleigh

O'er the fields we go

Laughing all the way

Bells on bob tails ring

Making spirits bright

What fun it is to laugh and sing

A sleighing song tonight

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to ride

In a one horse open sleigh

Jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to ride

In a one horse open sleigh

Bart's version

Ohhh... jingle bells

Batman smells

Robin laid an egg.

The Batmobile broke it's wheel,

The Joker got aw-

= Robert Goulet's version

Jingle bells, Batman smells,

Robin laid an egg.

Batmobile lost its wheel

And Joker got away. Hey!

Thank you! Thank you very much. (a punch is heard) Oh, I'm sorry, kid.
