I was downtown Christmas shopping

As I read what it had to say

Oh Santa, if you can't find me

We're livin' out here on the street

But I'll be watchin' for you

You're not gonna forget me, are you

Daddy says he knows you'll try

But we might be too hard to find this year

Oh Santa, I'm right here
