I thought that ” Children’s Day At The Morgue ” was the most macabre Holiday song in the world until I heard this song.

I didn’t know this was a real song- the first time I heard it was on ” Mrs Brown’s Boys ” and it was so weird that I thought it was made up for the show.

But, it popped up in one of my Christmas Youtube videos and -ouch, it is real.

He’s the little boy
That Santa Clause 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 Clause forgot.

Spoken:
(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.
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 Clause forgot
