Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Woke up this morning, snow outside the pane
Looked up at the mantel, and there he came
Little red suit, pointy hat so bright
Eyes like twinkling stars in the winter night
He’s been watchin’ all the things we do
From the bookshelf, where the storybooks grew
Mama says he’s magic, Papa says it’s true
Elf on the Shelf, what you gonna do?
[Pre-Chorus]
Sneakin’ ’round when we’re asleep
Leavin’ little notes, makin’ the milk and cookies leap
Up on the fridge, or hangin’ from a string
He’s got a front-row seat to all our Christmas dreams
[Chorus]
Elf on the Shelf, you’re the talk of the town
Dancin’ with the tinsel, never makin’ a sound
Every day a new surprise, right before our eyes
Oh, Elf on the Shelf, you make Christmas feel alive
You’re the spy of Santa, keepin’ us in line
But we can’t help but smile when we find you every time
Elf on the Shelf, our holiday delight
You’re the reason December feels so bright
[Verse 2]
Yesterday he was ridin’ on the toy train
Today he’s tangled in the Christmas tree, what a pain
Left a candy cane trail from the stairs to the den
We followed it giggling, where’s he gonna go then?
Sister tried to catch him, but he vanished in a flash
Said he’s gotta report to the North Pole in a dash
But we know he’ll be back, same time tomorrow morn
With a new trick up his sleeve, keepin’ the Christmas spirit warm
[Pre-Chorus]
Sneakin’ ’round when we’re asleep
Leavin’ little notes, makin’ the milk and cookies leap
Up on the fridge, or hangin’ from a string
He’s got a front-row seat to all our Christmas dreams
[Chorus]
Elf on the Shelf, you’re the talk of the town
Dancin’ with the tinsel, never makin’ a sound
Every day a new surprise, right before our eyes
Oh, Elf on the Shelf, you make Christmas feel alive
You’re the spy of Santa, keepin’ us in line
But we can’t help but smile when we find you every time
Elf on the Shelf, our holiday delight
You’re the reason December feels so bright
[Bridge]
One day he’ll pack his bag and fly away
Back to Santa’s workshop on Christmas Day
But till then, we’ll cherish every little scene
The way he tilts his head, like he’s part of the team
He’s more than just a decoration, more than just a toy
He’s the glue that holds our Christmas joy
A little piece of magic, in a world that’s sometimes gray
Elf on the Shelf, you light up our holiday
[Chorus – Repeat]
Elf on the Shelf, you’re the talk of the town
Dancin’ with the tinsel, never makin’ a sound
Every day a new surprise, right before our eyes
Oh, Elf on the Shelf, you make Christmas feel alive
You’re the spy of Santa, keepin’ us in line
But we can’t help but smile when we find you every time
Elf on the Shelf, our holiday delight
You’re the reason December feels so bright
[Outro]
Elf on the Shelf, we’ll miss you when you’re gone
But we’ll leave a little cookie, just to say so long
Till next year, when the snow starts to fall
You’ll be back again, the best Christmas pal of all
Oh, Elf on the Shelf…
