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 little boy that lives across the way
This little fella’s Christmas is just like any other 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
