We Need A Little Christmas Jerry Herman, from Mame

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;
Turn on 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,
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.
