(There's No Place Like) Home for the Holidays - 1959 Version

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
 I met a man who lives in Tennessee
 He was heading for Pennsylvania and some homemade pumpkin pie
 From Pennsylvania folks are travellin'
 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 family car
 For the pleasure that you bring when you make that doorbell ring
 No trip could be too far
 I met a man who lives in Tennessee
 He was headin' for Pennsylvania and some homemade pumpkin pie (some pumpkin pie)
 From Pennsylvania folks are travellin'
 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
