[Verse 4]Now the ground is whiteGo it while you’re youngTake the girls tonightAnd sing this sleighing songJust get a bobtailed bayTwo forty as his speedHitch him to an open sleighAnd crack, you’ll take the lead
What’s shown/written in the comic is the last half of the fourth verse. It begins with: “Now the ground is white … Go it while you’re young … Take the girls tonight … and sing this sleighing song” … and then continues where Thatababy is shown singing in today’s comic.
QI revealed several years ago that Jingle Bells was written as an homage to the Thanksgiving Holiday, NOT Christmas. And now it’s a tradition, but for the wrong holiday.

I think the song was written well before motorized engines became popular
