Lyrics: Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree
Rockin’ around the Christmas tree
At the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
Every couple tries to stopRockin’ around the Christmas tree
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we’ll have some pumpkin pie
And we’ll do some carolingYou will get a sentimental feeling
When you hear
Voices singing let’s be jolly
Deck the halls with boughs of hollyRockin’ around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancing merrily
In the new old-fashioned wayYou will get a sentimental feeling
When you hear
Voices singing let’s be jolly
Deck the halls with boughs of hollyRockin’ around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancing merrily
In the new old fashioned way
