We need a little Christmas

We Need a Little Christmas

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 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


I need a little Christmas now

Haul out the holly
---

Well, once I taught you all to live each living day


Fill up the stocking


But Auntie Mame, 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

And 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 felt good, neighbourly


Slice up the fruitcake


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

For we need a little Christmas


Right this very minute


Candles in the window


Carols at the spinet

And we need a little Christmas


Right this very minute


We need a little Christmas now

We need a little Christmas now


We need a little Christmas now
