(By Eddy Arnold - Steve Nelson - Ed Nelson) Will Santy come to Shanty town To a poor little boy like me? Will he bring me some toys Like the other girls and boys? Will Santy come to Shanty town If he sees our Christmas tree? Mommy said he would If I promised to be good. For we don't have a fireplace Or a chimney on our shack Like the other lucky children have Who lived across the track. Now if I say my prayers each day When Christmas rolls around Will Santy come to Shanty town. --- Instrumental --- He didn't stop last Christmas Eve Doesn't he know we live here Will my mommy have to paint my toys The way she did last year. Now if I say my prayers each day When Christmas rolls around Will Santy come to Shanty town
