Rocking Around the Christmas Tree
Kim; Mel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, I mean it must be nearly a year since the last one
Oh, it's a good twelve months
Yeah, yeah
You getting anything for your Granny this year?
Well I thought about it I couldn't be bothered
Well it's the thought that counts innit
Yeah, that's how I see it
Kim Wilde as usual, kidding myself though aren't I
It's hopeless really it's pathetic I suppose in a way
It is yeah, hello, who is this?
Merry Christmas Melvyn
It can't be
Come on Mel how about pulling a cracker
By the look of you darling I think I already have
Get it
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
At the Christmas party hop
A mistletoe hung where you can see
Every couple tries to stop (come on Mel)
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie
And we'll do some caroling (pumpkin pie anyone?)
You will get a sentimental feeling
When you hear, voices singing
Let's be jolly, deck the halls with boughs of holly
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday (this is so corny)
Everyone's dancing merrily
In the new old fashioned way
Wow I am in the most almighty Christmas groove
I haven't had this much fun since Two Little Boys was number one
If my friends could see me now
How do I look?
Ridiculous
You little tease
A dance, Kimberley?
I do love a nice Sax break
Yeah, me too, Kim, but let's wait 'til the record's over
Kim do you think our love will last forever?
No
Couple of years maybe?
No
Do you think we'll make it to the end of the record?
How long is that, exactly?
You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear
All together now
Voices singing let's be jolly
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Excuse me can I sing something now?
Get lost Griff
Well that's nice
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Rootbeer anyone?
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie
And we'll do some carolling
There's plenty of pumpkin pie left by the way
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Do you mind Melvyn?
Everyone's dancing merrily
In the new old fashioned way
Wow yeah that was fantastic
Very nice
Let's do it again, one, two, three, four
Strewth
Five
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Yep, he overdid it with the pumpkin pie
Everyone's dancing merrily
In the new old fashioned way
Merry Christmas everybody!
Merry Christmas everybody!
Bye Mel, it's been really interesting
I'll tell you who I fancy for Christmas
Who's that?
Bananarama
Yeah, can't help you there I'm afraid
Oh, thanks a bundle

Christmas coming around again, eh?
It seems like just yesterday we celebrated Christmas. Time flies, doesn't it?
Oh, it's a good twelve months
Yes, a whole year has passed since last Christmas.
Well it's the thought that counts innit
Even if you don't get a gift for Granny, it's the consideration that matters.
Kim Wilde as usual, kidding myself though aren't I
I always hope to get something special for Christmas, like meeting Kim Wilde, but it's highly unlikely.
It's hopeless really it's pathetic I suppose in a way
I know it's an absurd thought, but I still can't help myself from dreaming.
Get it
I understand what you mean. (referring to the joke about pulling a cracker)
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Dancing around the Christmas tree, a classic activity at holiday parties.

Very nice
They both had fun and enjoyed the song and dance.
Let's do it again, one, two, three, four

I do. It's a fucking conspiracy against Kim Wilde! How could it be ANYTHING ELSE?! I mean the only way she gets on a shit commercial station like tragic magic is when she fucking DJs on-that is playing everyone ELSE'S pieces of shit! And what other station is she EVER on. Every other bint known to man is ALWAYS on, the more irrelevant, overrated, insipid and pointless, the more the better. Kim doesn't fit ANY of these categories, so naturally NEVER on!
@igorflexus9493
Kim has such a beautiful unique voice I love it.
@jezame1
R.I.P Mel Smith. A very underrated comic genius.
@bendalymckenna6271
Heaven has had this comedian since 2013.

@adrianboxall1059
One of the most underrated Christmas songs.
The chemistry between them is excellent.
