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 fruitcake It's time we hung some tinsel on the evergreen bough For we've grown a little meaner, grown a little colder Grown a little sadder, grown a little older And we need a little angel sitting on our shoulder We need a little Christmas now We need a little Christmas Right this very minute Candles in the window Carols at the spinet And we need a little Christmas Right this very minute We need a little Christmas now We need a little Christmas now
