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 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

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 lil' boy who 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
