Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Will Santy come to Shanty Town?
To a poor little boy like me?
Will he bring me some toys?
Like the other girls and boys?
[Verse 2]
Will Santy come to Shanty Town?
If he see our Christmas tree?
Mommy said he would
If I promised to be good
[Verse 3]
For we don't have a fireplace
Or a chimney on our shack
Like the other lucky children have
Who live across the track
[Verse 4]
Now, if I say my prayers each day
When Christmas rolls around
Will Santy come to Shanty Town?
[Verse 5]
He didn't stop last Christmas Eve
Doesn't he know we live here?
Will my mommy have to paint my toys?
The way she did last year?
[Verse 6]
Now, if I say my prayers each day
When Christmas rolls around
Will Santy come to Shanty Town?
