This song describes celebrating Christmas by rocking around the Christmas tree at a party where mistletoe is hung. People try to stop under the mistletoe. Later they will have pumpkin pie and go caroling. The singer hopes everyone gets sentimental feeling from voices singing Christmas songs and has a happy holiday dancing merrily in a new old fashioned way.

1. Rocking around the Christmas Tree,
at the Christmas party hop

2. Mistletoe hung where you can see,
ev’ry couple tries to stop

3. Rocking around the Christmas Tree,
let the Christmas Spirit ring

4. Later we’ll have some pumpkin pie,
and we’ll do some caroling

5. You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear;
voices singing “Let’s be jolly; Deck the halls with
boughs of holly”

6. Rocking around the Christmas Tree,
have a happy holiday

7. Everyone’s dancing merrily,
in a new old fashioned way

11. You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear,
voices singing “Let’s be jolly, deck the halls with
boughs of holly”

12. Rocking around the Christmas Tree,
have a happy holiday

13. Everyone’s dancing merrily
in a new old fashioned way
