Mama's in the kitchen Christmas on the stove

Daddy's in the wood shed with axe and over coat

Everybody's helpin' to place and trim the tree

The picture's almost perfect it's only missin' me

But I'm comin' home for Christmas

Save a place for me

I'll arrive before St Nicholas

Places gifts beneath the tree

Leave a candle burnin'

And a key underneath the mat

I'm comin' home for Christmas

You can count on that

Snow is gently fallin' as I make my way toward home

I hear sweet memories callin' I've been a long time gone

Nothin' like the family and friends to celebrate

The fun the food the music of this special holiday

Oh but I'm comin' home for Christmas

Save a place for me

I'll arrive before St Nicholas

Places gifts beneath the tree

So leave the candle burnin'

Leave a key underneath the mat

I'm comin' home for Christmas

We can all depend on that

Hang holly in the window

Hang tinsel on the tree

Hang mistletoe above the door

And hang your hopes on me

I'm comin' home for Christmas

No place I'd rather be

I'm comin' home for Christmas

You can count on me

I'm comin' home for Christmas

You can count on me

Oh I'm comin' home

I'm comin' home Mmm-mmm-mmm
