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 fruit cake
 It's time we've hung some tinsel
 on the 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
 I 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
 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
 We need a little Christmas now
 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
 We need a little Christmas now
