Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree
The Fab Four 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
Every couple tries to stop

Rocking around the Christmas tree
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we'll have some honey 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 dancing merrily
In the new old fashioned way

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

Rocking around the Christmas tree
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we'll have some flaming 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 dancing merrily
In the new old fashioned way

Rocking around the Christmas tree, yeah
I was a-rockin' and a-boppin'
Yeah, it's Christmas time again, woo!

Rocking around the Christmas tree, yeah yeah




When everyone's dancing merrily
We're gonna have some fun tonight
