Christmas Can't Be Far Away

A neighbor tipped his hat to me this mornin'

The landlord even smiled and said good day

And I want you to know that a stranger said hello

Christmas can't be far awayOld tight wad down the street is a buying candy

To pass out to the neighbor kids at play

The town is on the go and the weather man says snow

Christmas can't be far awayThe small fry on our block have all been saving

And now they're hiding things and looking sly

Mom will get that doodad she's been craving

And dad will get his usual Christmas tieBoth young and old are planning sweet surprises

They'll soon be tied with ribbons bright and gay

Good will is in the air and you feel it everywhere

Christmas can't be far away
