Mame - We Need a Little Christmas Lyrics

1966 Broadway
Mame the Musical - We Need a Little Christmas Lyrics


The song is written by Jerry Herman.

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.
