O Christmas Tree
D.J. Chill Out Christmas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rocking around the Christmas Tree at the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see, every couple tries to stop
Rocking 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"

Rocking around the Christmas Tree, have a happy holiday
Everyone's dancing merrily in the new old-fashioned way
Come on

You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear
Voices singing, "Let's be jolly"
"Deck the halls with boughs of holly"

Rocking around the Christmas Tree, have a happy holiday




Everyone's dancing merrily in the new old-fashioned way
In the new old-fashioned way
