I was playin Santa Claus downtown on Christmas Eve
When a little girl of three or four climbed up onto my knee
I could tell she had a Christmas Wish behind those eyes of blue
So I asked her what's your name, and what can Santa git for you
She said my name is Christmas Carol, I was born on Christmas Day
I don't know who my daddy is, and mommy's gone away
All I want for Christmas is someone to take me home
Does anybody want a Christmas Carol of their own

Well all I could say was "Santa will do the best he could"
And I set her down and told her "now to remember to be good"
She said I will then walked away, turned and waved goodbye
And Im glad she wasent close enough to see ole Santa Cry

She said my name is Christmas Carol, I was born on Christmas Day
I don't know who my daddy is, and mommy's gone away
All I want for Christmas is someone to take me home
Does anybody want a Christmas Carol of their own

Early Christmas morning I got up and dialed the phone
I made a few arrangements at the County Children's home
And they told me it would be alright to pick her up today
Now my little Christmas Carol wont ever have to say

My name is Christmas Carol, I was born on Christmas Day
I don't know who my daddy is, and mommy's gone away
All I want for Christmas is someone to take me home
Does anybody want a Christmas Carol of their own

Well Merry Christmas Carol, I love you, Welcome Home
