Christmas Carol

I was playing Santa Clause downtown on Christmas Eve When a little girl of three or four climbed up on to my knee I could tell she had a Christmas wish behind those eyes of blue So I asked her what`s your name and what can Santa give to you She said my name is Christmas Carol, I was born on Christmas day I don`t know who my Daddy is and Mommy`s gone away All I want for Christmas is someone to take me home Does anybody want a Christmas Carol of their own Well all that I could say was Santa would do the best he could Then I sat her down and told her, now remember to be good She said I will, then walked away, turned and waved goodbye And I`m glad she wasn`t close enough to see old Santa cry She said my name is Christmas Carol, I was born on Christmas day I don`t know who my Daddy is and Mommy`s gone away All I want for Christmas is someone to take me home Does anybody want a Christmas Carol of their own Early Christmas morning I got up and dialed the phone And made a few arrangements with the County Children`s Home And they told me it would be all right to pick her up today Now my little Christmas Carol won`t ever have to say My name is Christmas Carol, I was born on Christmas day I don`t know who my Daddy is and Mommy`s gone away All I want for Christmas is someone to take me home Does anybody want a Christmas Carol of their own Well Merry Christmas Carol I love you, welcome home
