We Need a Little Christmas

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 fruit cake

It's time we hung some tinsel on the bayberry 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

Oh, carols at the spinet

Yes, we need a little Christmas, ding dong ding dong

It hasn't snowed a single flurry, but Santa dear, we're in a hurry

So jingle bells, jingle bells, here comes Santa's sleigh

It's been a long time since I felt good neighborly

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

It's time we hung some tinsel on the bayberry 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
