Vera Lynn The Little Boy That Santa Claus Forgot

1937 song written by Michael Carr, Tommie Connor and Jimmy Leach. lyrics: 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.
