"Sleigh Bells is a song written by Gene Autry & Michael R Carr.
Orvon Grover Autry (September 29, 1907 – October 2, 1998), better known as Gene Autry, was an American performer who gained fame as a singing cowboy on the radio, in movies, and on television for more than three decades beginning in the early 1930s. Autry was also owner of a television station, several radio stations in Southern California, and the Los Angeles/California/Anaheim Angels Major League Baseball team from 1961 to 1997.
From 1934 to 1953, Autry appeared in 93 films and 91 episodes of The Gene Autry Show television series. During the 1930s and 1940s, he personified the straight-shooting hero—honest, brave, and true—and profoundly touched the lives of millions of Americans. Autry was also one of the most important figures in the history of country music, considered the second major influential artist of the genre's development after Jimmie Rodgers. His singing cowboy movies were the first vehicle to carry country music to a national audience. In addition to his signature song, "Back in the Saddle Again", Autry is still remembered for his Christmas holiday songs, "Here Comes Santa Claus", which he wrote, "Frosty the Snowman", and his biggest hit, "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer".
Autry is a member of both the Country Music Hall of Fame and Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, and is the only person to be awarded stars in all five categories on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, for film, television, music, radio, and live performance. The town of Gene Autry, Oklahoma was named in his honor.
You know bells have always been
Associated with Christmas
Well, how can we think of Christmas
And Santa Claus without his sleigh
Put 'em both together and what have you got
Sleigh Bells
Sleigh bells jinglin'
Jing, jing, jinglin'
Everything's alright
What a happy sight
Santa's busy as a bee tonight
Oh, sleigh bells jinglin'
Jing, jing, jinglin'
Christmas trees aglow
Holly and mistletoe
And the whitest kind of snow
All the kiddies are sleeping
As he rides through the sky
But there must be no peeping
Or he might pass you by
Sleigh bells jinglin'
Jing, jing, jinglin'
Santa's on his way
Hear the sleigh bells say
A happy Christmas day
Sleigh bells jinglin'
Jing, jing, jinglin'
Everything's alright
What a happy sight
Santa's busy as a bee tonight
Oh, sleigh bells jinglin'
Jing, jing, jinglin'
Christmas trees aglow
Holly and mistletoe
And the whitest kind of snow
All the kiddies are sleeping
As he rides through the sky
But there must be no peeping
Or he might pass you by
Sleigh bells jinglin'
Jing, jing, jinglin'
Santa's on his way
Hear the sleigh bells say
A happy Christmas day
