====== We Need a Little Christmas ======

===== Lyrics =====

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

Climb down the chimney\\
Turn on the brightest string of lights I've ever seen\\
Slice up the fruitcake\\
It's time we hung some tinsel on the 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\\
Need a little Christmas now

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
