1. Every couple trying to stop (Rockin ' round the Christmas Tree)

[squarebear]

Are you sure 1 is (5,6,6,2,4) because it's from Rockin Around The Christmas tree and the next line is "every couple tries to stop rockin". which would be (5,6,2,4)

[squarebear]

Oh yes. Ignore me. :o)

[weediamond]

Is it - he's checking it twice or and checking it twice ??

[BigMac]

1. www.azlyrics.com has "

[BigMac]

what happened then? Anyway:
azlyrics has
"He's making a list,
Checking it twice;"

2. www.12days.com gives it as "He's making a list and checking it twice" and names the writers.

3. www.lyrics007.com gives "He's making a list
And checking it twice"

4. www.utterlytrics.com gives "He's making a list,
Checking it twice"

So there seems to be some debate as all these sites name the lyricist (Henry Gillespie) and tune writer J Fred Coots.

Which doesn't actualy answer your question, I'm afraid.
