The Little Boy That Santa Forgot - Vera Lynn

Christmas comes but once a year for every girl and boy

The laughter and the joy they find in each new toy

I’ll tell you of a little boy who 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 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 envied all those lucky boys

Then wandered 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
