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
