🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Rockin' around the Christmas tree
  • At the Christmas party hop
  • Mistletoe hung where you can see
  • Every couple tries to stop

Echo the hook

  • Voices singing, let's be jolly
  • Deck the halls with boughs of holly
  • Rockin' around the Christmas tree
  • Have a happy holiday
christmasrockin'tree
