We Need A Little Christmas

aul 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.
