Jingle Bell Rock
Christmas Songs - Brenda Lee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell rock
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell rock
The song "Jingle Bell Rock" is a classic holiday tune that has captured the essence of Christmas for generations. The first verse talks about the jingle bells and how they swing and ring, creating a festive mood. The chorus repeats these sentiments, describing the "jingle bell rock" that rings out merrily. The second verse talks about the fun of dancing in the "Jingle Bell Square," which is a place where people can get together and enjoy the holiday season. The chorus comes back in, emphasizing the importance of this season as the right time to "rock the night away."
The bridge of the song changes slightly, as it introduces the idea of a one-horse sleigh and going for a ride while it snows. This is a classic image associated with Christmas and creates a sense of nostalgia for simpler times. The rest of the song emphasizes the joy and merriment of the holiday season and encourages people to continue dancing and enjoying themselves. The repetition of the phrase "that's the jingle bell rock" helps to solidify the idea of this song being a classic that will stand the test of time.

Keep jingling until the clock strikes midnight

Funny this should be part of Mel Gibson’s “Lethal Weapon”.
Remember Mel Gibson’s antics last decade?
Jingle Mel Rock
(To the tune “Jingle Bell Rock ”)
Jingle Mel, Jingle Mel, went to a dive
Jingle Mel drink and Jingle Mel drive.
Cops pulled him over and asked him to breathe —
That made Jingle Mel start to seethe.
Jingle Mel went and said all the world’s wars
Were started by Jews, have Jews as their cause;
He asked the deputy: “Are you a Jew?”
In Malibuuu.
Jingle Mel’s time was a swell time
Boozin’ the night away.
But arrest time’s not the best time
To put your deep deep thinking on display.
Squad-car ride, booking desk, cell for the night;
Jingle Mel slept it off.
Now he’s rocking with a box-office hit —
He’s untouchable,
And un-blushable,
That’s the Jingle Mel rock.

This has always been the best version of this lovely song in my opinion. Brenda Lee's voice is perfection and the arangement is superb. Thank you for posting it.

The classic singers all had this special, romantic Christmas voice. Unlike today's singers. I wish I would have been born in the 30s or 40s.

@Shannon better not. You'd be closer to the end.

Have you heard her version of rocking around the Christmas tree? It's the absolute best version of the song.

IMO, the first 'rock' Christmas tune that stood the test of time and is still causing smiles. I liked it then and like it now; the Beatles should have been so talented.
