I was playin' Santa Claus downtown on Christmas Eve
D G
When a little girl of 3 or 4 climbed up onto my knee
G C
I could tell she had a Christmas wish behind those eyes of blue
D G
So I asked her What's your name and what can Santa do for you?
Chorus:
C G
She said, "My name is Christmas Carol, I was born on Christmas Day
C G A7 Daa
I don't know who my daddy is and mommy's gone awaye-
C G C,.-
All I want for Christmas is someone to take me home
D G
Does anybody want a Christmas Carol of their own?"

Well all that I could say was Santa would do the best he could
E7 A
And I set her down and told her now remember to be good
A D
She said '" will" and walked away, turned to wave goodbye
E7 A
And I'm glad she wasn't close enough to see old Santa cry
Chorus in A

Early Christmas morning I got up and dialed the phone

And made a few arrangements at the County Children's home

They told me it would be all right to pick her up today

Now my little Christmas Carol won't ever have to say
Chorus in B
