Here is another version:
Dashing through the snow, on a horse that's very green. O'er the hills we go, crashing into trees. The snow is turning red, I think I may be dead. I wake up in the hospital with stitches in my head. OH! 911, 911, please take me away! Oh what fun it is to ride in an ambulance all day, HEY! 911, 911, please take me away! Take me to the hospital before I pass away Hey!
