Michael DeLuca and Jonathan Allentoff - We Need a Little Christmas

Haul out the holly, put up the tree before my spirit falls again;
Fill up the stockings, 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,
put 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,
I need a little Christmas now!

For we need a little music, need a little laughter,
need a little singing ringing though the rafter.
And we need a little snappy, "happy ever after,"
We need a little Christmas now!
