Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree
Brenda Lee Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rockin' around the Christmas tree
At the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
Every couple tries to stop
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie
And we'll do some caroling

You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear
Voices singing, let's be jolly
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancin' merrily
In the new old-fashioned way

You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear
Voices singing, let's be jolly
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancin' merrily
In the new old-fashioned way

@musicrocksoffical

YOU GUYS! ITS OFFICIALLY IN THE NUMBER ONE CLUB!!!

Brenda Lee Hits #1 At 78: ‘Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree’ Tops Charts 65 Years After Its Release, Smashing Records!!!

Can there be any lingering doubt about who truly holds the Queen of Christmas crown? Brenda Lee has returned to the top spot of the Billboard Hot 100 chart with “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree,” 65 years after the song’s 1958 recording.

The chart-topper sees the singer once known as Little Miss Dynamite breaking at least several Billboard records, including the longest wait between a song’s release and reaching #1, and the longest span between an artist’s #1 hits. At 78, Lee becomes the oldest person to ever top the chart, a record previously held by Louis Armstrong, who was 62 when “Hello, Dolly” peaked in 1964.

She did it you guys!!! Miss Dynamite is still on fire after all those years!!! 💥💥💥

​@raynemichelle2996 no ma'am I'd say it's a tie. Mariah literally had hers a number 1 hit longer and for lot longer in the future.
