Left alone, Tom tries again to break out of the box
He finds it's of very sturdy construction
Squashed tightly inside he can't change position

The dangling label trembles imperceptably.
His angry shouting is heard by no-one

Pain begins to seep into his arms, his legs, his back
He hears the clock strike two and thinks of his son
Who will be waking about now hoping to find presents.

And goodness knows, he didn't want a lot.
And goodness knows, he didn't want a lot.
I'm so sorry for that laddie, for tonight he's lost his daddy,
The little boy That Santa Clause forgot. ♪♫♪♫
The little boy That Santa Clause forgot. ♪♫♪♫
A tear trickles down Tom's cheek.
