Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree Lyrics by Brenda Lee
[Verse]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
You will get a sentimental feeling
When you hear
Voices singing, "Let's be jolly
Deck the halls with boughs of holly"
[Chorus]
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone's dancin' merrily
In the new old-fashioned way
[Saxophone Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
You will get a sentimental feeling
When you hear
Voices singing, "Let's be jolly
Deck the halls with boughs of holly"
[Chorus]
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone's dancin' merrily
In the new old-fashioned way
About the Song: Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree by Brenda Lee
Rockin’s Around the Christmas Tree is another Christmas song classic that you will always hear playing whenever the Christmas season arrives. This jolly song was released way back in 1958, however, it always finds its way up the charts every Christmas season. This song has been covered many times by different artists such as Justin Bieber and Kacey Musgraves featuring Camila Cabello, and has appeared in different films like Home Alone (a classic Christmas movie, we recommend you watch this!)
The song is about the celebration of the holiday while dancing around the Christmas tree. Brenda Lee only released a music video for this classic Christmas song in 2023, which featured her celebrating Christmas with family and singing beside a Christmas tree.
Verse
The song starts with the singer being at a Christmas party. The part is complete with decorations like a mistletoe (and you know what people do under the mistletoe, right? 😚). The singer is also saying all the Christmas-related activities they will do like eating pumpkin pies and doing carolings.
Pre-Chorus and Chorus
The song “Deck the Halls” was referenced here with the singer saying you will get sentimental when you start hearing the Christmas songs. True, isn’t it? Don’t you get a familiar feeling whenever the Christmas season begins and you start hearing the Christmas songs? It’s like channeling your inner child that can’t wait for Christmas!
The chorus is a celebration of Christmas with the people enjoying the music and dancing around.
