The Little Boy That Santa 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 a girl and boy
 The laughter and the joy they find in each brand new toy
 I'll tell you of a little boy who lives across the way
 This little fellas 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, who hasn't got a daddy
 The little boy that Santa Claus forgot
