Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree
Darlene Love Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
At the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
Ev'ry couple tries to stop
Rocking around the Christmas tree
Let the Christmas Spirit ring
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie
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 a 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"
Rocking around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone's dancing merrily
In a new old fashioned way
Rocking around the Christmas tree, ooh oh oh oh
The Christmas tree
Rocking around just you and me
Oh oh oh you and me
Rocking around the Christmas tree, ooh oh oh oh
You and me
Yeah, ooh oh oh oh, just you and me
Rocking around the Christmas tree
Ooh oh oh oh, you and me, you and me around the tree
You and I around the tree, yeah
