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 didn'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      I'd like to tell you about a boy who lives across the way   To this little guy, well, Christmas is just another day   So tell you kids this story and hug them close and hold them near   And hope, that little boy will have a real Christmas this time next year      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
