Lyrics
Verse 1
I have spread the Christmas cheer in New York City
I've walked Fifth Avenue at night and seen the twinkling lights
Central Park at Christmastime can be almost as pretty
As brilliant Christmas Angels on Railroad Boulevard for all the town to see
Chorus
I'm coming home for a McComb City Christmas
I'm coming home, no place I'd rather be
Been gone too long, but I'll be home again for Christmas.
So, light the Christmas tree
I'm coming home
Verse 2
Celebrated Christmastime in Kansas City
Spent a very festive time at Crown Center with my friends
But why should caroling in the city be so different
Than singing Christmas carols with my friends and family at Muddy Springs?
Chorus
I'm coming home for a McComb City Christmas
I'm coming home, no place I'd rather be
Been gone too long, but I'll be home again for Christmas.
So, light the Christmas tree
I'm coming home for a McComb City Christmas
I'm coming home, no place I'd rather be
Been gone too long, but I'll be home again for Christmas.
So, light the Christmas tree
I'm coming home
