Jingle Bell Rock
Dave Fulford Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowing, and blowing up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancing and prancing 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 riding in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a mingle to a jinglin' beat
That's the jingle bell rock
(Jing rock, jing rock, yeah, jing rock, jing rock, jing rock, jing rock, jing rock, jing rock)
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancing and prancing in jingle bell square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go riding in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a mingle to a jinglin' beat
That's the jingle bell, that's the jingle bell, that's the jingle bell, that's the jingle bell rock
The jingle bell rock
That's the jingle bell rock (yeah)
Jingle bell, jingle bell
Merry christmas, happy holidays
Merry christmas, happy holidays
How's that for a Christmas song?
In the song "Jingle Bell Rock" by Bobby Helms, the lyrics describe the excitement and joy of the winter season. The jingling of bells in the snow sets the party mood and starts the "jingle hop." The lyrics explain the dance that goes along with the jingle bell rock, including prancing and dancing in the frosty air.
The chorus repeats the jingling and rocking theme, emphasizing the idea that the jingling beat is what makes the party so much fun. The song encourages the listener to get in the winter mood and enjoy the celebration.
One interesting fact about the song is that it was released in 1957, but it did not become a hit until the following year. Another fun fact is that "Jingle Bell Rock" has been covered by numerous artists, including Brenda Lee, Hall and Oates, and Blake Shelton. Additionally, it was featured in the popular Christmas movie "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York."
