| Dear Santa Claus
|
| Sure thank you for all of the gifts
|
| After I thought it over, Santa, I decided to write
|
| And thank you for all of the toys and especially the bike
|
| My little brother John and my sister Sue and my Mom and my Dad
|
| Well, they said to tell you thank you too
|
| Before I close, Santa, there’s something else I want to say
|
| Now, please don’t get mad at me because I gave my toys away
|
| You know, my friend Jerry who lives across the railroad track
|
| He doesn’t even have a mom or a dad, just a little brother Jack
|
| I went to see them, I went over there to see them today
|
| And Santa, I never saw such a brokenhearted boy until I saw them that way
|
| Jerry cried and he said he didn’t understand
|
| You must have didn’t have enough toys to go around
|
| You must have just run out of toys on his side of town
|
| I divided all of my toys, Santa, except my bike
|
| I told him, that you made a mistake
|
| You left them at my house last night
|
| I told him, you thought, that they had spent the night with me
|
| And you left a note that their toys were under my Christmas tree
|
| Now, Santa, I know it’s wrong to tell a lie
|
| But you know, they’re my best friends
|
| And I just couldn’t stand to see them cry
|
| And I asked my Mom and I asked my Dad
|
| And they said, whatever I wanted to do
|
| They said you’d forgive me and they’d pray for God to forgive me too
|
| When you come back again, Santa, when you come back the next time
|
| And you see, that you’re running short
|
| Put my name on the bottom line
|
| And I know that this is a big ol' world, Santa
|
| And somebody always is gonna be blue
|
| I just want you to know that I still love you
|
| And Jerry and Jack, they love you too
|
| I felt awfully bad when I started to write you this letter
|
| But now, now since I’ve finished, Santa, I feel a whole lot better
|
| A whole lot better
|
| I love you Santa
|
| Good night
|
| Merry Christmas |
