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;
 Well, once I taught you all to live each living day.
 Fill up the stocking,
 Young Patrick:
 But Auntie Man, it's one week from 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;
 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 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.
 Need a little Christmas now.
