Traditional "Jingle Bells" lyrics:
> 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
CBS commercial lyrics:
> Watchin' all the shows
> On CBS again tonight
> Laughter, joy, and bliss
> Fill the air with sheer delight
> Stars will shine so bright
> Making spirits feel so bright
> What a wonderful time
> To watch TV tonight
The commercial cleverly adapted the iconic tune to highlight the network's programming and create a festive atmosphere for the holiday season. The altered lyrics emphasize the joy of watching CBS shows and the happiness it brings to viewers during Christmas time.
