We need a little Christmas for 5thC

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 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
I need a little Christmas now.

Haul out the holly
Well, once I taught you all to live each living day
Fill up the stocking
But Auntie Mame, it's one week past Thanksgiving Day now.

But we need a little Christmas
Right this very minute
Candles in the window
Carols at the spinet.

And 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
It's been a long time since I felt good, neighborly
Slice up the fruitcake
It's time we hung some tinsel on that evergreen bough.

For we need a little Christmas
Right this very minute
Candles in the window
Carols at the spinet.

And we need a little Christmas
Right this very minute
We need a little Christmas now

We need a little Christmas now
We need a little Christmas now.
