Rocking Around the Christmas Tree
Kim / Mel Lyrics

Christmas coming around again, eh?
Discussing how Christmas seems to come back fast each year

Yeah I mean it must be nearly a year since the last one
Agreeing that the previous Christmas feels like it was just yesterday

Oh it's a good twelve months
Sarcastically stating that it has, in fact, been a full year since the last Christmas

You getting anything for your Granny this year?
Asking if Kim has prepared a Christmas present for her grandmother

Well I thought about it I couldn't be bothered
Kim has considered a gift, but decided against it due to laziness

Well it's the thought that counts innit
Melvyn suggests that the thought of a gift is what matters, not the actual present

Yeah that's how I see it
Kim agrees with Melvyn's sentiment

What do you fancy for Christmas then
Melvyn wants to know what Kim would like for Christmas

Kim Wilde as usual, kidding myself though aren't I
Kim jokes that she wants Kim Wilde as a Christmas present, knowing it's impossible

It's hopeless really it's pathetic I suppose in a way
Acknowledging the impossibility of her wish, and deeming it sad

It is yeah, hello, who is this?
Melvyn answers an incoming phone call

Merry Christmas Melvyn
Greeting Melvyn as the person on the other end of the call

It can't be
Expressing disbelief at who is calling

Come on Mel how about pulling a cracker
Asking Melvyn to participate in the annual Christmas cracker tradition

By the look of you darling I think I already have
Melvyn sexually harasses Kim by suggesting he has already pulled a cracker with her

Rockin' around the Christmas tree, at the Christmas party hop
Describing the scene of a Christmas dance party

A mistletoe hung where you can see, every couple tries to stop (come on Mel)
Noticing a mistletoe, and urging Melvyn to attempt to kiss someone under it

Let the Christmas spirit ring, later we'll have some pumpkin pie, and we'll do some caroling (pumpkin pie anyone?)
Looking forward to the rest of the Christmas celebration, including pumpkin pie and caroling

You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear, voices singing
Implying nostalgia that will arise from singing Christmas songs with a group

Let's be jolly, deck the halls with boughs of holly
Encouraging everyone to be happy and decorate the halls with holly

Rockin' around the Christmas tree, have a happy holiday (this is so corny)
Dancing around the Christmas tree and wishing others a happy holiday, even though the sentiment may seem cheesy

Everyone's dancing merrily, in the new old fashioned way
Describing how everyone is dancing gleefully in a classic Christmas style

Wow I am in the most almighty Christmas groove
Exclaiming that they are truly in the spirit of Christmas

I haven't had this much fun since Two Little Boys was number one
Comparing the Christmas fun to the excitement of a top-charting hit song

If my friends could see me now, how do I look?
Wondering what their friends would think of them at that ecstatic moment

Ridiculous. You little tease
Melvyn playfully chides Kim for her elated state

A dance, Kimberley?
Asking Kim to dance with him

I do love a nice Sax break. Yeah, me too, Kim, but let's wait 'til the record's over
Expressing an appreciation for the sax break in the song, but deciding to wait until the song is over to dance again

No
Answering frankly to whether their love will last forever

Couple of years maybe?
Suggesting that their love may only last for a few years instead of forever

How long is that, exactly?
Asking how long the song is, after realizing that they were referring to the length of the song instead of their own relationship

Excuse me can I sing something now?
Interrupting the conversation to request to sing a song

Get lost Griff
Mockingly dismissing the idea of Griff singing

Yep, he overdid it with the pumpkin pie
Commenting on someone eating too much pumpkin pie

Do you mind Melvyn?
Politely asking Melvyn to stop speaking over her

Wow yeah that was fantastic. Very nice. Let's do it again, one, two, three, four. Strewth. Five
Complimenting the previous dance, and wanting to do it again

Merry Christmas everybody!
Wishing everyone a merry Christmas

Bye Mel, it's been really interesting. I'll tell you who I fancy for Christmas
Saying goodbye, then teasing Melvyn about the person they want for Christmas

Bananarama
Revealing that Kim has a crush on the band, Bananarama

Yeah can't help you there I'm afraid. Oh thanks a bundle
Melvyn jokes that he cannot make Bananarama appear, then sarcastically thanks Kim for the information
