Christmas Can't Be Far Away lyrics

A neighbor tipped his hat to me this morning The landlord even smiled and said good day And I want you to know a stranger said hello Christmas can't be far away Old tidewad down the street is buying candy To pass out to the neighbor kids at play The town is on the go the weather man said snow Christmas can't be far away The small fry on our block have all been saving And now they're hiding things and looking sly Mom will get that do-dat she's been craving And dad'll get his usual Christmas tie Both young and old are planning sweet surprises They'll soon be tied with ribbons bright and gay Good will is in the air you feel it everywhere Christmas can't be far away Christmas can't be far away
