Christmas comes but once a year for ev'ry girl and boy
The laughter and the joy they find in each toy
I'll tell you of a little boy who lives across the way
This little feller's Christmas is just another day

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
