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 The ones that taught you all to Live each living day Fill up the stocking But Auntie Mae! 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've Done the neighbourly Slice up the fruitcake It's time we hung some tinsel on that may-berry bough 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 We need a little Christmas now! We need a little Christmas now! We need a little Christmas now!
