Haul out the holly Put up the tree before my spirit falls again Fill up the stocking We 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; oh, Santa dear, we're in a hurry Climb down the chimney Hang up the brightest string of lights I've ever seen Slice up the fruit cake It's time we hung some tinsel on the evergreen bough For we need a little music, need a little laughter Need a little singing ringing in the rafters And we need a little something, happy ever after We need a little Christmas now Oh, we need a little Christmas, right this very minute Candles in the window, carols at the spinet Yes, we need a little Christms, right this very minute We need a little Christmas now
