[C]Haul out the holly;
Put up the tree before my [Gm]spirit [A7]falls again.
[Dm]Fill up the [G7]stocking,
I may be [Dm]rushing things, but [G7]deck the halls again [A7]now.
For we [Dm]need a little [G7]Christmas [C]Right this very minute,
[Dm]Candles in the window, [G7]Carols at the [C]spinet.
Yes, we [Dm]need a little [G7]Christmas [C]Right this very minute.
It [D7]hasn't snowed a single flurry But [G7]Santa, dear, we're in a hurry;
So [C]climb down the chimney;
Put up the brightest string of [Gm]lights I've [A7]ever seen.
[Dm]Slice up the [G7]fruitcake;
It's time we [Dm]hung some tinsel on that [G7]evergreen [A7]bough.
For I've [Dm]grown a [G7]little leaner, [C]Grown a little colder,
[Dm]Grown a little [G7]sadder, [C]Grown a little older,
And I [Dm]need a [G7]little angel [C]Sitting on my shoulder,
[Dm]Need a [G7]little Christmas [C]now.
[D]Haul out the holly;
Well, once I taught you [Am]all to [B7]live each living day.
[Em]Fill up the stocking,
But Auntie [Em]Man, it's one week from [A7]Thanksgiving Day [B7]now.
For we [Em]need a little [A7]Christmas [D]Right this very minute,
[Em]Candles in the window, [A7]Carols at the [D]spinet.
Yes, we [Em]need a little [A7]Christmas [D]Right this very minute.
It [E7]hasn't snowed a single flurry But [A7]Santa, dear, we're in a hurry;
So [D]climb down the chimney;
Put up the brightest string of [Am]lights I've [B7]ever seen.
[Em]Slice up the [A7]fruitcake;
It's time we [Em]hung some tinsel on that [A7]evergreen [B7]bough.
For we [Dm]need a little [G]music, [C]Need a little laughter,
[Dm]Need a little [G]singing [C]Ringing through the rafter,
And we [Dm]need a little [G]snappy [C]"Happy ever after, "
[Dm]Need a little [G]Christmas [C]now.
