We Need A Little Christmas - We Need A Little Christmas lyrics

(From the 1974 movie "Mame") Haul out the holly Put up the tree before my spirit falls again Fill up the stockings 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 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 til 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 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, neighborly Slice up the fruitcake It's time we hung some tinsel on that mayberry bough We need a little music We need a little laughter We need a little singing And ringing with the laughter We need a little snappy Happy ever after We need a little Christmas now We need a little Christmas now We need a little Christmas now
