will santy come to shanty town

will santy come to shanty town

to a poor little boy like me?

will he bring me some toys

like the other girls and boys?

will santy come to shanty town

if he sees our christmas tree?

mommy said he would

if i promised to be good

for we don't have a fireplace

or a chimney on our shack

like the other lucky children have

who lived across the track

now if i say my prayers each day

when christmas rolls around

will santy come to shanty town

he didn't stop last christmas eve

doesn't he know we live here

will my mommy have to paint my toys

the way she did last year

now if i say my prayers each day

when christmas rolls around

will santy come to shanty town
