Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree
Rubber Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

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
Everyone dancin' merrily
In the new old-fashioned way

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




Everyone dancin' merrily
In the new old-fashioned way

This is a great album. I used to have the cassette, then I got the CD and we play it every Christmas. I think they did another one, too.
