Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

'Cause 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

[Verse 3]

Climb down the chimney

Turn on the brightest string of lights I've ever seen

Slice up the fruitcake

It's time we hung some tinsel on that evergreen bough

[Verse 4]

'Cause 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

[Verse 5]

Haul out the holly

Well, once I taught you all to live each living day

Fill up the stocking

Please, don't you know it's one week from Thanksgiving Day now?

[Verse 6]

'Cause 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, so

[Verse 7]

Climb down the chimney

Turn on the brightest string of lights I've ever seen

Slice up the fruitcake

It's time we hung some tinsel on that evergreen bough

[Verse 8]

Yeah, we need a little music

Need a little laughter

Need a little singin'

Ringing through the rafter

And we need a little snappy

"Happy ever after"

(Need a little Christmas now)

[Verse 9]

Oh, oh, ah, ah, ah

[Verse 10]

Need a little Christmas now
