X21 - We Need A Little Christmas
Haul out the hol-ly,
put up the tree be-fore my ^ spir-it falls a-gain.
Fill up the stock-ing
I may be rush-ing things, but ^ deck the halls a-gain now - - -
For we need a lit-tle Christ-mas
Right this ver-y min-ute
Can-dles in the win-dow
Car-ols at the spin-et: yes we
Need a lit-tle Christ-mas
Right this ver-y min-ute
It hasn't snowed a sin-gle flur-ry
but Santa dear we’re in a hur-ry: so
Climb down the chim-ney
turn on the bright-est string of
^ lights I’ve ev-er seen
Slice up the fruit-cake
It’s time we hung some tin-sel
^ on that ev-er-green bough - - -
For I’ve grown a lit-tle lean-er
Grown a lit-tle cold-er
Grown a lit-tle sad-der
Grown a lit-tle older: and
I need a lit-tle an-gel
Sit-ting on my shoul-der
Need a lit-tle Christ-mas now!
For we need a lit-tle mu-sic
Need a lit-tle laugh-ter
Need a lit-tle sing-ing
Ring-ing through the raf-ter: and we
Need a little snap-py
‘Hap-py ev-er aft-er’
Need a lit-tle Christ-mas now!
