So I love this song like anyone else, but I have yet for the life of me, have never figured out why no one has ever really done a ROCK version of this song? So as a rocker, I decided I would do my own take on this song and create a truly rock version of Rock Around the Christmas Tree. It has become one of my favorite songs on the album. Hope you like!
lyrics
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.
You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear,
Voices calling, "Let's be jolly,
Deck the halls with boughs of holly",
Rockin' around the Christmas tree,
Have a happy holiday,
Everyone dancin' merrily,
In the 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",
Rockin' around the Christmas tree,
Have a happy holiday,
Everyone dancin' merrily,
In the new old-fashioned way.
