Haul out the holly
Put up the tree before my spirit falls again
Fill up the stocking
I may be rushing things, but deck the halls again now
For we need a little Christmas

Right this very minute

Candles in the window

Carols at the spinet



Yes, we need a little Christmas

Right this very minute

It hasn't snowed a single flurry

But Santa, dear, we're in a hurry



So climb down the chimney

Turn on the brightest string of light I've ever seen

Slice up the fruitcake

It's time we hung some tinsel on that evergreen bough



For I've grown a little leaner

Grown a little colder

Grown a little sadder

Grown a little older



And I need a little angel

Sitting on my shoulder

Need a little CHristmas now



For we need a little music

Need a little laughter

Need a little singing

Ringing through the rafter



And we need a little snappy

"Happy ever after"

Need a little Christmas now
