HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS

Adapted and performed by the Mighty Sparrow

Oh, there's no place like home for the holidays
'Cause no matter how far away you roam
When you pine for the sunshine of a friendly gaze
For the holidays you can't beat home, sweet home.

I met a man who lives in Port of Spain and he was heading for
San Fernando and some homemade pumpkin pie
From San Fernando folks are traveling up to Maracas Bay, I'm sure
To a lovely moonlight picnic, man that traffic is terrific.

Oh, there's no place like home for the holidays
'Cause no matter how far away you roam
If you really want to be happy in a million ways
For the holidays you can't beat home, sweet home.

I met a man who lives in Port of Spain and he was heading for
San Fernando and some homemade pumpkin pie
From San Fernando folks are traveling up to Maracas Bay for sure
To a lovely moonlight picnic, oh, the traffic is terrific.

Oh, there's no place like home for the holidays
'Cause no matter how far away you roam
If you want to be happy in a million ways
For the holidays you can't beat home, sweet home.

A Note From The Gull

Thank you, Mighty Sparrow.

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
Guanaguanare
