Haul out the holly
Put up the tree before my spirit falls again
Fill up the stocking
We 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, oh, Santa dear we're in a hurry

Climb down the chimney
Hang up the brightest string of lights I've ever seen
Slice up the fruit cake
It's time we hung some tinsel on the 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 something, happy ever after
We need a little Christmas now

Oh, 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

Do do do do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do
