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 nowFor 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, soClimb 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 nowHaul out the holly
Well, once I taught you
All to live each living dayFill up the stocking
But Auntie Mame, it's one week
Past Thanksgiving Day nowBut 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, soClimb down the chimney
Its been a long time since
I've done the neighbourlySlice up the fruitcake
It's time we hung some tinsel
On that may-berry boughFor 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!
