Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree
Hanson(핸슨) 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 dancing 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
Rocking around the christmas tree,
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancing merrily




In the new old-fashioned way.
Merry christmas!

The chorus encourages the Christmas spirit to ring and the indulgence in some pumpkin pie and caroling later in the night.


The lyrics of the song evoke joy, sentimentality, and a longing for the traditional ways of celebrating Christmas. The second verse of the song speaks of voices singing to "Deck the halls with boughs of holly," which instills a sense of togetherness and community. The line "Everyone dancing merrily in the new old-fashioned way" suggests that traditions may change but the spirit of Christmas remains the same.
