Christmas Can't Be Far Away (1954 Version)

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 tightwad 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 doodad she's been craving
And dad will get his usual Christmas tie

Both young and old are planning sweet surprises
They'll soon be tied with ribbons bright and gay
Goodwill is in the air
You feel it everywhere
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 doodad she's been craving
And dad will get his usual Christmas tie

Both young and old are planning sweet surprises
They'll soon be tied with ribbons bright and gay
Goodwill is in the air
You feel it everywhere
Christmas can't be far away
