WE NEED A LITTLE CHRISTMAS 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, I 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.
