The Little Boy That Santa Claus Forgot

"" is the Christmas song performed by Nat 'King' Cole.

Lyrics
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

[Chorus] 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

You know, Christmas comes but once a year for every girl and boy The laughter and the joy they find in each brand new toy

I'll tell you of a little boy that lives across the way... This little fella's Christmas is just another day

[Repeat the first stanza and the chorus]
