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

Spoken:
(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 little boy that 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
