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
