CASSIE:

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

THE GANG:

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

CASSIE:

Haul out the holly

Well, once I taught you

All to live each living day

Fill up the stockin'

But Auntie Mame, it's one week

Past Thanksgiving Day now

THE GANG:

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

CASSIE:

Climb down the chimney

Its been a long time since I've done the neighbourly

Slice up the fruitcake

It's time we hung some tinsel

On that may-berry bough

THE GANG:

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!
