Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Oh, there’s no place like home for the holidays

‘Cause no matter how far away you roam

When you pine for the sunshine of a friendly gaze

For the holidays, you can’t beat home, sweet home

[Verse 2]

I met a man who lives in Tennessee

He was headin’ for Pennsylvania, and some home made pumpkin pie

From Pennsylvania, folks are travelin’ down to Dixie’s sunny shore

From Atlantic to Pacific, gee, the traffic is terrific

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

Take a bus, take a train, go and hop an aeroplane

Put the wife and kiddies in the family car

For the pleasure that you bring when you make that doorbell ring

No trip could be too far

[Verse 5]

I met a man who lives in Tennessee

He was headin’ for Pennsylvania, and some home made pumpkin pie

From Pennsylvania, folks are travelin’ down to Dixie’s sunny shore

From Atlantic to Pacific, gee, the traffic is terrific

[Verse 6]

Oh, there's no place like home for the holidays

‘Cause no matter how far away you roam

If you want to be a 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
