That Kid Around The Corner
That kid around the corner with
the funny ragged clothes,
And busted hat, and canvas shoes
that’s leaky at the toes,
He ain’t got any pa and ma nor
any place to stay
But just does different kind of
jobs and I have heard him
say:
That sometimes he has to sleep
right out on the street,
And often he has gone all day
without a thing to eat.
But that there kid he won’t believe
that Santa Claus ain’t true
An’ won’t bring him some pres
ents just like he does to me
and you.
He says that Santa Claus has got
a whole lots of things and to
spare
An’ want s to pass them round to
children everywhere.
An’ all he want’s to know is
where they can be found,
So he can come on Christmas eve
and pass the presents round.
“O” course I ain’t got no address
he said to me last night
But I have wrote a letter askin’
t
pleasant and polite.
If he won’t bring me some pres
ents and put them in the corn
er of the park
So I can come and get them while
the morning still is dark.
If I was rich like lots of men and
had work every day,
I’d write to Mr, Santa Claus my
self and say,
That kid around the corner- is a
hopin’ you will come
And bring him some roller skates
or else perhaps a drum
But I’m afraid you can’t afford to
buy so many toys
For I’ve noticed you never do for
ragged little boys.
But you just bring him what he
wants, and send the bill to me
It wont cost you a single cent and
it’ll make him happy see.
