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 clim
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
