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   Hasn't snowed a single flurry, but Santa dear we're in a hurry      Climb down the chimney   Turn on 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   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
