Christ-mas comes but once a year 
-2  4   4   4   -4  -3*
for ev-‘ry girl and boy, 
-1   -3   -3  -3   3* 3(2-1)1   3
The laugh-ter and the joy they find 
3   3   -2* -2
In each new toy. 
 -3   4   -5  6 -5  4  -3   2
I'll tell you of a lit-tle boy 
-2    4  -4  -2    3  -3
who lives a-cross the way... 
 -3  -3  -3  -3   -3    -5   -5
This lit-tle fel-la's Christ-mas 
-5  3*  3*  3* 3* -3 
is just an-oth-er day. 
 -3  -3*  4  -4   4
He's the lit-tle boy 
 -4  -3* -3  -5   -3  -1
that San-ta Claus for-got, 
-1  -3*   4    -3  
And good-ness knows, 
3  -3*  4   -3  3  1
he did-n't want a lot. 
1   -2  3  2   -1 -2  3
He sent a note to San-ta
 2   -1  -3*   4   -3 -3* 3
For some sol-diers and a drum
-1  -3*   4  -3  -3*   3
It broke his lit-tle heart
-3  -3*   4   -5  4  -3* -3   4
When he found San-ta had-n’t come

-3 -3*   4    -4 4   -4  
In the street he en-vies 
-3*  -3    -5 -3  -1
all those luck-y boys, 
 -1  -3*  4    -3  3  -3*    4    -3   3   -2
Then wan-ders home to last year's bro-ken toys. 
-2 -1*  1* -1  2   -2   4  -3*
I'm so sor-ry for that lad-die, 
-2 -3  -3* -4  5  6  -5
He has-n't got a dad-dy, 
-1  -3*  4  -3   3   -5  -5  -3   -3  -2
The lit-tle boy that San-ta Claus for-got.
