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 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 forgotI'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 yearIn 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
