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
Put up the brightest string of lights I've ever seen
Slice up the fruit cake
It's time we hung some tinsel on the bayberry 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

Oh, carols at the spinet
Yes, we need a little Christmas, ding dong ding dong
It hasn't snowed a single flurry, but Santa dear we're in a hurry

So jingle bells, jingle bells, here comes Santa's sleigh
It's been a long time since I felt good neighborly
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
It's time we hung some tinsel on the bayberry bough

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"
