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 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

Haul out the holly
Well, once I taught you all
To live each living day

Fill up the stocking

But Auntie man, 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

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 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
Need a little Christmas now
