I was downtown Christmas shopping
  Such a busy city street
  I don't know how I noticed the piece of paper at my feet
  But somethin' made me pick it up, instead of goin' on my way
  I stopped and froze right in my tracks
  As I read what it had to say
    Oh Santa, if you can't find me
  We're livin' out here on the street
  But I'll be watchin' for you, you're not gonna forget me, are you
  Daddy says he knows you'll try
  But we might be too hard to find this year
  Oh Santa, I'm right here
    It said, we don't have our house no more, I wish we could go home
  Mama says we will some day and she prays it won't be long
  But they closed daddy's factory and took most of our things
  Now Santa, I don't need to much, so this year could you bring
    Bring my mom a coat that's warm, 'cause the one she's got is awful torn
  Maybe dad could help you work, makin' toys for boys and girls
    Oh Santa, if you can't find me
  We're livin' out here on the street
  But I'll be watchin' for you, you're not gonna forget me, are you
  Daddy says he knows you'll try
  But we might be too hard to find this year
  Oh Santa, I'm right here
    I'm right here
  I'm right here
