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
