《铃儿响叮当》是一首曲调流畅、情绪欢快的美国歌曲。生动的歌词描绘了一群孩子冒着大风雪，坐在马拉的雪橇上，他们的欢声笑语伴着清脆的马铃声回响在原野……表现了孩子们热情奔放的性格，抒发了热爱美好生活的真挚情感。
歌曲为再现的二段体结构。第一乐段以“3”、“4”的同音反复为主，加上 “ ×× × | ×× × | ×× ×.× | × － |”节奏的运用，塑造了马儿奔跑、铃儿叮当的欢快的音乐形象。
第二乐段从第一乐段的最后一小节后半拍开始，“ × | ×× ×× | × － |”的节奏从弱起进入，这一节奏的重复出现，加上曲调的逐步上移，给人以推动感，刻画了孩子们随着雪橇冲破风雪、飞奔向前的情景。歌曲的最后乐段的重复再现，并在结尾用一延长的、渐弱的高音“1”，结束了全曲，仿佛雪橇已渐渐远去，而那充满欢笑的歌声仍在风雪中回荡。
《铃儿响叮当》歌词：
Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bobtails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight
Jingle bells jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh hey
Jingle bells jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon miss fanny bright
Was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
He got into a drifted bank
And then we got upsot
Jingle bells jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh hey
Jingle bells jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
A day or two ago
The story I must tell
I went out on the snow
And on my back I fell
A gent was riding by
In a one horse open sleigh
He laughed as there I sprawling lie
But quickly drove away
Jingle bells jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh hey
Jingle bells jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
