IT MUST BE GETTING CLOSE TO CHRISTMAS
(C. Bruce / Sammy Cahn / Jimmy Van Heusen)

Glen Campbell


When daughter starts to greet you with her warmest grin,
And junior's got his room much neater than a pin,
And if they fight to hug you each time you walk in,
It must be getting close to Christmas.

Suddenly your slightest wish is their command,
And all at once your favorite things are close at hand,
And suddenly Lombardo is their favorite band,
It must be getting close to Christmas.

Nobody ever makes mention of the weather or season,
But you, you just love that attention whatever the reason.

All at once the wife is charcoal broiling stakes,
Coming up with dishes she'd refuse to make,
And your little puppy doesn't bark till you're awake.
This paradise is close to sublime,
And very close to Christmas time.
