Elf on the Shelf

You’ve probably heard of me
But you don’t know me
So don't talk about me
As if you know me
I've been here and there
True, I get around
But mostly sitting pretty in my place
Patiently waiting to be found
'Cause I’m an Elf on the shelf
Sitting quietly alone all by myself
Still I stoically accept the hand I’m dealt
To be an Elf on the shelf
You’ve probably heard of me
But have you heard of my trials
My nearest closest match
Moved a further twenty miles
To get away
See I’m an Elf on the shelf
Sitting quietly alone all by myself
Still I stoically accept the hand I’m dealt
To be an Elf on the shelf
I guess you've heard of me
But have you heard of such cheek
An invitation to the North Pole Party
And they left me on read for a week
I’m getting pretty tired of this
I’m gonna find myself a new situation
When nobody’s watching me
I’m gonna try a new shelf a new location
See if I care
For I’m an Elf on the shelf
Sitting quietly alone all by myself
Still I stoically accept the hand I’m dealt
To be an Elf on the shelf
To be an Elf on the shelf

Be Kind

Jonny’s stacking shelves
In the everything store
No time to himself
And storm in his core
When Christmas shopping
Please keep this in mind
If you can, be kind
Sara’s on the tills
With a mare of a head
A millionaire just yelled at her
And wished her dead
When Christmas shopping
Please keep this in mind
If you can, be kind
Everyone you meet is going through
A tougher battle, and so are you
So if you can, be kind
Alex has to buy
Presents for all the weans
But the devil on their back
Is driving them insane
When Christmas shopping
Please keep this in mind
If you can, be kind

Party at the North Pole

There’s a party at the Pole
Everyone who’s anyone will be there
And everyone is someone
At Christmas Time
They’re giving out candy canes
They’ve got ginger beer on tap
It’s all thanks to Santa Claus
He’s such a splendid chap
Nobody left out
In the blistering cold
In our dancing circle
There’s always a hand to hold
There’s a party at the Pole
Everyone who’s anyone will be there
And everyone is someone
At Christmas Time
At every time
Odd socks and strays unite
The doors are open at eight
A hearty welcome
And a welcome hearth awaits
Freaks, geeks and gay folk all
We’ve just the thing for you
All thanks to Santa Claus
A raucous, Christmas do
There’s a party at the Pole
Everyone who’s anyone will be there
And everyone is someone
At Christmas Time
There’s a party at the Pole
Everyone who’s anyone will be there
And everyone is someone
At Christmas Time
At every time
Sing sing and dance along
It's coming and it won't be long...
This is a Christmas song...

What a night
Holey tights
Morning sun’s shining far too bright
Someone’s frying up bacon downstairs
Stomach churns and my left nostril flares
Let me sleep in peace
Let a poor girl sleep in peace
What a gig
Climbing the rig
In eight inch heels and a beehive wig
Dancing frantically all round the tree
Not one elf could out lip-synch me
Make the chattering cease
Let a poor girl sleep in peace
Oh my head!
Eyes turning red
Don’t think I will get out of my bed
Until someone brings me some codeine I swear
Crack a window and let in some air
Death would be sweet release
Let a poor girl sleep in peace
