Been singing this all day at work in the office and out on the Production floor. everyone just stares at me so here you go guys join me in the song, Plus this has always been one of my Favorite songs.
WE NEED A LITTLE CHRISTMAS by
Mame:
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,
All:
And I need a little angel
Sitting on my shoulder,
Need a little Christmas now.
Mame:
Haul out the holly;
Well, once I taught you all to live each living day.
All:
Fill up the stocking,
Young Patrick:
But Auntie Man, it's one week from Thanksgiving Day now.
All:
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.
Agnes:
It hasn't snowed a single flurry,
But Santa, dear, we're in a hurry;
Ito:
So climb down the chimney;
Put up the brightest string of lights I've ever seen.
All:
Slice up the fruitcake;
It's time we hung some tinsel on that evergreen bough.
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.
I love this song. What's funny is I didn't really like it for the longest time. However, after the tornadoes and some other things that have recently happened, I had this song in my head for weeks. I downloaded a version and listened to it, marking the earliest I think I've ever listened to Christmas music (I usually try to wait at least until October, with varying degrees of success). Because I needed some Christmas, I put some other holiday songs in my rotation. I particularly had the part I highlighted in red stuck in my head. This is a year where I really needed some Christmas now!
Thanks for sharing. A great song that I have a newfound appreciation for!
