I was playin' Santa Claus downtown on Christmas Eve

When a little girl of three or four climbed up onto 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 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 I could say was Santa will do the best he could

And I set her down and told her now to 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 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

And they told me it would be alright 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 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
