Sufjan Stevens - We Need a Little Christmas lyrics

1, 2, 3, 4 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, Santa dear
We're in a hurry

So climb down the chimney
Turn 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
Need a little Christmas now

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
