HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS (Al Stillman / Robert Allen) As recorded by The Carpenters   Also recorded by Perry Como   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 and 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 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   I met a man who lives in Tennessee and 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 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
