We Need a Little Christmas
"We Need a Little Christmas" is a popular Christmas song originating from Jerry Herman's Broadway musical Mame, and first performed by Angela Lansbury in the 1966 production.
In the musical, the song is performed after Mame lost her fortune in the Wall Street crash of 1929 and decides that she, her young nephew Patrick, and her two household servants "need a little Christmas now" to cheer them up.
