The Little Boy That Santa Claus Forgot

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 didn'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

I'd like
To tell you
About a boy
Who lives
Across the way
To this little guy
Well, Christmas
Is just another day
So tell you
Kids this story
And hug them close
And hold them near
And hope
That little boy
Will have
A real Christmas
This time next year

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
