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 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
 Haven't I taught you well to live each living day?
 Fill up the stocking
 But Auntie Mane, 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
 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
 It's been a long time since I've felt good neighbourly
 Slice up the fruitcake
 It's time we hung some tinsel on that 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"
