The Little Boy That Santa Forgot - Nat King Cole

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

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 like any other day

He’s the little boy that Santa Claus forgot

And goodness knows, he didn’t want a lot

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
