Mame: We Need a Little Christmas

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

Put up 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

Haul out the holly

Haven't I taught you well?

To live each living day

Fill up the stocking

But Auntie Mame, it's one week past Thanksgiving Day, now

But, 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

It's been a long time since I've felt good, neighborly

Slice up the fruitcake

It's time we hung some tinsel

On that bayberry bow

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

Need a little Christmas, now
