I am dreaming of a white Christmas Just like the ones I used to know Where the treetops glisten and children listen To hear sleigh bells in the snow I am dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write May your days be merry and bright And may all your Christmases be white I am dreaming of a white Christmas Just like the ones I used to know Where the treetops glisten and children listen To hear sleigh bells in the snow I am dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write May your days be merry and bright And may all your Christmases be white 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 Turn on the brightest string of light 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 Haul out the holly Well, once I taught you all 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 spinet And 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 felt good, neighborly Slice up the fruitcake It's time we hung some tinsel on that evergreen bough For we need a little Christmas Right this very minute Candles in the window Carols at the spinet And 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 felt good, neighborly Slice up the fruitcake It's time we hung some tinsel on that evergreen bough For we need a little Christmas Right this very minute Candles in the window Carols at the spinet And we need a little Christmas Right this very minute We need a little Christmas now We need a little Christmas now We need a little Christmas now
