"Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree" 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 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 singing let's be jolly
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancing 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 dancing merrily
In the new old fashioned way

Brenda Lee was just thirteen years old when she recorded this song in 1958. She said later, "The song was magic and how could it not be with the group of musicians and Anita Kerr Singers and Owen Bradley producing? It couldn't have been anything but."
Kelly Clarkson, who portrayed Brenda Lee in the TV series "American Dreams", performed "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree" for the series.
This song is featured in the 1990 film "Home Alone". Brenda Lee said about it, "...of course I went to see the movie and I think that's the door that opened for the young audience to discover what 'Rockin'' was. That's why it's been around for years and generations."
