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 fruit cake

It's time we've hung some tinsel

On the 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

The ones that taught you all to

Live each living day

Fill up the stocking

But Auntie Mae

It's one week

From 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

We 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

We need a little Christmas now
