Jingle Bell Rock
Jim Martin 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?
The song "Jingle Bell Rock" by Jim Martin celebrates the joy and excitement of the Christmas season. The song starts by describing the sound and movement of jingle bells, creating a festive and fun atmosphere. The lyrics then mention the snow and cold weather, but instead of focusing on the negative, it uses it as an opportunity to have "bushels of fun" and "jingle hop."
The chorus then declares that it's the "right time" to "rock the night away" and to enjoy the holiday season. The song uses the metaphor of a "one-horse sleigh" to invoke images of a cozy, romantic ride through the snow. The final verses, with the repetition of "Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock," reinforce the pure joy of the Christmas season and the timeless, classic nature of the song.
Overall, "Jingle Bell Rock" is a celebration of the joy of the holiday season, focusing on the sounds, sights, and experiences that create the magic of Christmas.
