He's the little boy that Santa Claus forgot
And goodness knows, he didn't want a lotHe sent a note to Santa
For some soldiers and a drum
It broke his little heart
When he found Santa hadn't comeIn 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 forgotYou know, Christmas comes
But once a year for every girl and boy
The laughter and the joy they find in each brand new toyI'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 lotIn 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
