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!
