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 light 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 past Thanksgiving Day now



But 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

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 evergreen bough



For 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

We need a little Christmas now
