[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]
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
I need a little Christmas now
[Verse 2]
Oh, 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]
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
[Verse 3]
Climb down the chimney
Put up the brightest string of lights I've ever seen
Slice up the fruit cake
It's time we've hung some tinsel on the evergreen bough
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Oh, climb down the chimney
It's been a long time since I felt good neighborly
Slice up the fruit cake
It's time we've hung some tinsel on the bayberry bough
[Chorus]
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
We need a little Christmas now
[Outro]
We need a little Christmas now
(We need a little Christmas now, we need a little Christmas now)
We need a little Christmas now
Hey!
