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;

Put up the brightest string of lights 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,

All:

And I need a little angel

Sitting on my shoulder,

Need a little Christmas now.

Mame:

Haul out the holly;

Well, once I taught you all to live each living day.

All:

Fill up the stocking,

Young Patrick:

But Auntie Man, it's one week from Thanksgiving Day now.

All:

But 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.

Agnes:

It hasn't snowed a single flurry,

But Santa, dear, we're in a hurry;

Ito:

So climb down the chimney;

Put up the brightest string of lights I've ever seen.

All:

Slice up the fruitcake;

It's time we hung some tinsel on that evergreen 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.

Need a little Christmas now.
