Christmas comes but once a year for every girl and boy |
|
The laughter and the joy they find in each new toy |
|
I'll tell you of a little boy who 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 |
|
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 envied all those lucky boys |
|
Then wandered 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 |
