Haul out the holly<br />
Put up the tree before my spirit falls again<br />
Fill up the stocking<br />
I may be rushing things, but deck the halls again now<br />
<br />
For we need a little Christmas<br />
Right this very minute<br />
Candles in the window<br />
Carols at the spinet<br />
<br />
Yes, we need a little Christmas<br />
Right this very minute<br />
It hasn't snowed a single flurry<br />
But Santa, dear, we're in a hurry<br />
<br />
So climb down the chimney<br />
Put up the brightest string of light I've ever seen<br />
Slice up the fruitcake<br />
It's time we hung some tinsel on that evergreen bough<br />
<br />
For I've grown a little leaner, grown a little colder<br />
Grown a little sadder, grown a little older<br />
And I need a little angel sitting on my shoulder<br />
I need a little Christmas now<br />
<br />
Haul out the holly<br />
Well, once I taught you all to live each living day<br />
Fill up the stocking<br />
But Auntie Mame, it's one week past Thanksgiving Day now<br />
<br />
But we need a little Christmas<br />
Right this very minute<br />
Candles in the window<br />
Carols at the spinet<br />
<br />
And we need a little Christmas<br />
Right this very minute<br />
It hasn't snowed a single flurry<br />
But Santa, dear, we're in a hurry<br />
<br />
So climb down the chimney<br />
It's been a long time since I felt good, neighborly<br />
Slice up the fruitcake<br />
It's time we hung some tinsel on that evergreen bough<br />
<br />
For we need a little Christmas<br />
Right this very minute<br />
Candles in the window<br />
Carols at the spinet<br />
<br />
And we need a little Christmas<br />
Right this very minute<br />
We need a little Christmas now<br />
<br />
We need a little Christmas now<br />
We need a little Christmas now
