       Last year he wanted building blocks,
           And picture books and toys,
       A saddle horse that gayly rocks,
           And games for little boys.
       But now he's big and all that stuff
           His whim no longer suits;
       He tells us that he's old enough
           To ask for rubber boots.
       Last year whatever Santa brought
           Delighted him to own;
       He never gave his wants a thought
           Nor made his wishes known.
       But now he says he wants a gun,
           The kind that really shoots,
       And I'm confronted with a son
           Demanding rubber boots.
       The baby that we used to know
           Has somehow slipped away,
       And when or where he chanced to go
           Not one of us can say.
       But here's a helter-skelter lad
           That to me nightly scoots
       And boldly wishes that he had
           A pair of rubber boots.
       I'll bet old Santa Claus will sigh
           When down our flue he comes,
       And seeks the babe that used to lie
           And suck his tiny thumbs,
       And finds within that little bed
           A grown up boy who hoots
       At building blocks, and wants instead
           A pair of rubber boots.
