Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree
Spector Ronnie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rocking around the Christmas tree
At the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
Ev'ry couple tries to stop

Rocking 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"

Rocking around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone's dancing merrily
In a 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"

Rocking around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone's dancing merrily
In a new old fashioned way

Rocking around the Christmas tree, ooh oh oh oh
The Christmas tree
Rocking around just you and me
Oh oh oh you and me
Rocking around the Christmas tree, ooh oh oh oh
You and me
Yeah, ooh oh oh oh, just you and me
Rocking around the Christmas tree




Ooh oh oh oh, you and me, you and me around the tree
You and I around the tree, yeah
