 G
Haul out the holly
 G                       Dm       E
Put up the tree before my spirit falls again
 Am
Fill up the stocking
           Am                 D
I may be rushing things, but deck the halls again
Bm E
now

Chorus:
  G     Am               D
For we need a little Christmas,
 G               C
right this very minute
 Am             D       G
Candles in the window, carols at the spinet
         C               Am
Yes, we need a little Christmas,
 G               Em
right this very minute
    A                              D
It hasn't snowed a single flurry, Santa dear,
we're in a hurry

So 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 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
Need a little Christmas now

Chorus:
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
