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
Put up the brightest string of
lights 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
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
And I need a little angel
sitting on my shoulder
Need a little Christmas now
Haul out the holly
Haven't I taught you well to
live each living day
Fill up the stocking
But Auntie May
It's one week
past Thanksgiving Day now
But 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
It's been a long time since I
got the bayberry
Slice up the fruitcake
It's time we hung some tinsel
on that bayberry bough
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
Need a little Christmas now
