Jingle Bell Rock
Sweethearts Of The Rodeo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air

What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and mingle in jinglin' beat
That's the jingle bell rock

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air

What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh

Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and mingle in jinglin' beat
That's the jingle bell




That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell rock

My favourite cd to listen to during Christmas is Santa's Super Hits. Ever since I was a little girl. This was the version of jingle bell rock on it. Reminds me of my childhood.

#ChristmasInJuly As I’m watching this. Yeah, I really think that when Vince decided to throw Janis under the bus, country music lost one of its best duos here, because both of their careers seemed to tank around the same time.
