| A lonely little boy
 | 
| Around a Christmas toy
 | 
| A lonely little boy
 | 
| Around one little Christmas toy
 | 
| He was crying, he said
 | 
| «I'm giving it up, I can’t take no more
 | 
| I’ve got to get even with you, you, you so and so
 | 
| I’m gonna make a copy, I’ll do every, every, every move
 | 
| Can you feel it now? | 
| Now, ain’t that a groove?»
 | 
| And I said, «Don't get anger, son, you’ve got to come through
 | 
| Because the same way you feel, now, I felt that same way, too»
 | 
| Now sing it, he sang, «I've got to come through, I can’t forget
 | 
| I’ve got to come through, no, I just can’t forget»
 | 
| Don’t let that one little toy get you down 'cause you’re still out of sight
 | 
| Yes you are, bless your heart, and don’t you fret
 | 
| And don’t ever, ever, ever fall down
 | 
| A lonely little boy
 | 
| A lonely little boy
 | 
| Hangin' around one little lonely toy
 | 
| Can you imagine how he feels?
 | 
| Other kids got a father to come home and say
 | 
| «What you want for Christmas, son?»
 | 
| And he recites everything he wants for Christmas
 | 
| But the little boy over there stands with his head down
 | 
| Tears falling on his cheek
 | 
| I, I know how he feels, I know how he feels, too
 | 
| Because that wasn’t always a little boy, it was me
 | 
| And sometimes I believe, that I know that it was you
 | 
| Help him somebody, oh, help that little boy standing over there
 | 
| He needs shelter, the rain is falling on his head
 | 
| Help him, let him come in
 | 
| Let the little boy who wanna get himself a Christmas toy
 | 
| Do what you can, people
 | 
| Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
 | 
| Help him, people, oh-ho, oh
 | 
| Lord, oh, help him, people
 | 
| Hey hey hey hey hey hey, oh, oh, help him |
