Oh, there’s no place like home for the holidays
‘Cause no matter how far away you roam
When you long for the sunshine of a friendly gaze
For the holidays you can’t beat home, sweet home!
I met a man who lives in Tennessee, and he was headin’ for
Pennsylvania and some homemade pumpkin pie
From Pennsylvania folks are travelin’ down to Dixie’s sunny shore
From Atlantic to Pacific, gee, the traffic is terrific!
Oh there’s no place like home for the holidays
‘Cause no matter how far away you roam
If you want to be happy in a million ways
For the holidays you can’t beat home, sweet home
Take a bus, take a train, go and hop an aeroplane,
Put the wife and kiddies in the fam’ly car,
For the pleasure that you bring when you make that doorbell ring;
No trip could be too far.
A home that knows your joy and laughter filled with mem-ries by the score,
Is a home you’re glad to welcome with your heart.
From California to New England down to Dixie’s sunny shore
From Atlantic to Pacific gee, the traffic is terrific!
Oh, there’s no place like home for the holidays
‘Cause no matter how far away you roam
If you want to be happy in a million ways
For the holidays you can’t beat home, sweet home!
For the holidays you can’t beat home, sweet home!
