Rocking around The Christmass
Mel Smith & Kim Wilde Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kim: Come on Mel how about pulling a cracker
Mel: By the look of you darling I think I already have
Get it

Kim: Rockin' around the Christmas tree
At the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
Every couple try to stop
Come on Melly-pops

Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie
And we'll do some caroling
Mel: Pumpkin pie anyone?

Both: 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
Kim: This is so corny
Both: Everyone's dancing merrily
in the new old fashioned way
Mel: 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?
Kim: Ridiculous
Mel: You little tease
A dance, Kimberley?

Kim: I do love a nice sax break
Mel: Yeah me too Kim, but let's wait till the record's over
Kim do you think our love will last forever?
Kim: No
Mel: Couple of years maybe?
Kim: No
Mel: Do you think we'll make it to the end of the record?
Kim: How long is that - exactly?

Kim: You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear
Mel: All together now
Both: Voices singing let's be jolly
Deck the halls with boughs of holly

Griff: Excuse me can I sing something now?
Mel: Get lost Griff!
Griff: Well that's nice...

Mel & Kim: Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Mel: Root beer anyone?
Both: Later we'll have pumpkin pie
And we'll do some carolling
Mel: There's plenty of pumpkin pie left by the way
Both: Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Kim: Do you mind Melvyn?
Both: Everyone's dancing merrily
In the new old fashioned way

Griff: Wow yeah that was fantastic
Kim: Very nice
Mel: Let's do it again! One two three four...
Kim: Strewth
Mel: Five!

Both: Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Mel: He overdid it with the pumpkin pie
Both: Everyone's dancing merrily
In the new old fashioned way





Mel: Merry Christmas everybody!
Kim: Merry Christmas everybody!

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.
