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 Turn on The brightest String of light 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 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
