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
