Talk:   Dear Santa Claus   I sure thank you for all the gifts   And after I thought it over Santa   I decided to write   And thank you for all the toys   And especially the bike   My little brother John   And my sister Sue   And mom and dad   Said to tell you thank you too   Oh yeah Santa there’s something else I want to say   Please don’t get mad at me 'cuz I gave my toys away   You know my friend Jerry   Who lives across the railroad track?   He doesn’t even have a mom or dad   Just a little brother Jack   I went to see them   I went over there to see them today   And Santa I never seen such broken hearted boys ‘til I   saw them that way    Jerry cried and he said he didn’t understand   You musta didn’t have enough toys to go around   You musta just run out of toys   On his side of town   I divided all my toys   Except for the bike   And I told him that you made a mistake   And you left them at my house last night   I told him you thought that they spent the night with me   And you left a note that their toys wereunder my   Christmas tree   Now Santa I know it’s wrong to tell a lie   But you know that they’re my best friends   And I just couldn’t stand to see ‘em cry   I asked my mom and asked my dad   And they said whatever I wanted to do   They said you’d forgive me   And they’d pray for God to forgive me too   When you come back again Santa   When you come back next time   And you see that you’re running short   Put my name on the bottom line   And I know that this is a big ole world Santa   And someone is always gonna be blue   I just want you to know I still love you   And Jerry and Jack love you too   I felt awfully bad when I started this letter   But since I finished I feel a whole lot better   A whole lot better   I love you Santa   Good night   Merry Christmas      Sing: Sleep in Heavenly peace
