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 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, he hasn't got a daddy   The little boy that Santa Claus forgot
