Jessica Simpson & Rosie O'Donnell Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jessica:
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
At the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
Every couple tries to stop
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie

And we'll do some caroling

Jessica and Rosie:
You will get a sentimental feelin' when you're hear
Voices singing let's be jolly
Deck the halls with boughs of holly

Jessica:
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancin' merrily
In the new old fashion way

Jessica and Rosie:
You will get a sentimental feelin' when you hear
Voices singing let's be jolly
Deck the halls with boughs of holly

Jessica:
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancin' merrily
In the new old fashion way

Jessica: (laughs)
Rosie: Merry Christmas
