Normally, I am very traditional about Christmas music. However, there are exceptions, such as Bobby Helms' "Jingle bell rock", a classic from 1957 that we hear every year. Helms was a 1950's rocker who recorded other hits like "My special angel".
This is "Jingle Bell Rock":
"Jingle-bell, Jingle-bell,Jingle-bell rock,
Jingle-bells swing andJingle-bells ring.
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun,
Now the Jingle hop has begun.
Jingle-bell, Jingle-bell, Jingle-bell rock,
Jingle-bells chime in Jingle-bell time.
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square In the frosty air.
What a bright time; it's the right time
To rock the night away.
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh.
Giddy up Jingle horse; pick up your feet;
Jingle around the clock.
Mix and mingle in a jinglin' beat;
That's the Jingle-bell rock.
Jingle-bell, Jingle-bell, Jingle-bell rock,
Jingle-bells swing andJingle-bells ring.
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun,
Now the Jingle hop has begun.
Jingle-bell, Jingle-bell, Jingle-bell rock, Jingle-bells chime in Jingle-bell time.
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air.
What a bright time; it's the right time
To rock the night away.
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh.
Giddy up Jingle horse; pick up your feet;
Jingle around the clock.
Mix and mingle in a jinglin' beat;
That's the Jingle-bell
That's the Jingle-bell
That's the Jingle-bell rock."
