When Justin Bieber isn’t under the mistletoe, he’s “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree,” per his cover of Brenda Lee’s 1958 holiday classic.
He dropped the song as an exclusive gift for the new Amazon Original Songs collection of holiday tunes. “‘Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree’ has always been one of my favorite songs to celebrate the holidays, and I’m excited to team up with Amazon Music to share my own version, with my fans,” Bieber said in a statement.
And for a Billboard Hot 100 Christmas miracle, his cover debuts at No. 83 on the all-genre tally the same week Lee’s original song climbs to No. 4 (chart dated Dec. 12).
Check out the lyrics below.
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
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we’ll have some pumpkin pie
And we’ll do some caroling
Rockin’ around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancing merrily
In the new old fashioned way, way
