We Need A Little Christmas

[Verse 1:]
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.

[Chorus:]
'Cause 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.

[Post-Chorus:]
Climb down the chimney
Turn on the brightest string of lights I've ever seen
Slice up the fruitcake
It's time we hung some tinsel on that evergreen bough.

[Chorus:]
'Cause 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.

[Verse 2:]
Haul out the holly
Well, once I taught you all to live each living day
Fill up the stocking
'Cause don't you know it's one week from Thanksgiving Day now?

[Chorus:]
'Cause 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.

[Post-Chorus:]
Climb down the chimney
Turn on the brightest string of lights I've ever seen
Slice up the fruitcake
It's time we hung some tinsel on that evergreen bough.

[Chorus:]
Yeah, 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.

[Bridge:]
Oh
Hey
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

[Outro:]
Need a little Christmas now.
