Would you listen and lend an ear  'Cause I only come around once a year?  And this is for a very special cause  My name is Santa Claus    One Christmas Eve, I visited a home  Where children lived who've no home of their own  And though I brought them gifts galore,  This is what one asked me for...    "Dearest Santa, I don't want toys  Or choo-choo trains with lots of noise.  I want a home like other boys  Christmas day.    "Dearest Santa, I will be  Just as good as I can be  If you'll give me a family  Christmas day.    "I'm so lonesome, I'm so blue.  Is there somethin' you can do? oh...    "Please, dear Santa, don't ignore  This little boy who's begging for  A mother whom he'll just adore  Christmas day.    "I would be so proud and glad  If I could just say, 'Meet my dad,' so...    "Please, dear Santa, heed my quest  And tell them I'll behave my best,  That if they'd take me, they'll be blessed  Christmas day."
