He's the little boy that Santa Claus forgot,
|
And goodness knows, he didn't want a lot.
|
|
|
He sent a note to Santa
|
For some soldiers and a drum,
|
It broke his little heart
|
When he found Santa hadn't come.
|
|
|
In the street he envies all those lucky boys,
|
Then wanders home to last year's broken toys.
|
I'm so sorry for that laddie,
|
He hasn't got a daddy,
|
The little boy that Santa Claus forgot.
|
|
|
Spoken:
|
(You know, Christmas comes but once a year for every girl and boy,
|
The laughter and the joy they find in each brand new toy.
|
I'll tell you of a little boy that lives across the way...
|
This little fella's Christmas is just another day.
|
He's the little boy that Santa Claus forgot,
|
And goodness knows, he didn't want a lot.)
|
|
|
In the street he envies all those lucky boys,
|
Then wanders home to last year's broken toys.
|
I'm so sorry for that laddie,
|
He hasn't got a daddy,
|
The little boy that Santa Claus forgot.
