I was playing Santa Clause downtown on Christmas Eve,

when a little girl of 3 or 4 climbed up onto my knee,

I could tell she had a Christmas wish behind those eyes of blue,

so I ask her what's your name and what can Santa do for 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 to be good.

She said "I will" then walked away, turned to wave good-bye.

And I'm glad she wasn't close enough to see Ole 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.

I made a few arrangements at the County Children's home.

They told me it would be alright to pick her up today.

Now my little Christmas Carol won't ever have to say,

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 MERRY CHRISTMAS CAROL,

I LOVE YOU, WELCOME HOME
