We Need a Little Christmas Songtext
von Jerry Herman

rRoll 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 spinnet
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 fruit cake
it's time we hung some tinsel
on that evergreen bow
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 spinnet 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 thought
that, Mame would eat
slice up the fruit cake
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 rafters
and we need a little stocking
happy ever after
need a little Christmas now
