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 a--way

All I want for Christmas is some- -one 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 a--way

All I want for Christmas is some--one 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 a--way

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…………....PAUSE………..…welcome home
