The Elf on a Shelf

(Verse 1)

Snowflakes falling softly, it’s that time of year,

Candles in the windows, magic in the air so clear.

Stockings hanging ready, and the lights are glowing bright—

There’s a little elf watching every single night…

(Chorus)

’Cause everyone put that elf on the shelf,

All with holiday cheer, spreading joy by itself.

Peeking from the curtains, hiding under the tree,

That little elf’s making memories for you and for me.

(Verse 2)

Found him in the kitchen, covered in flour like snow,

Then he hid inside a wreath—how he moved, we’ll never know!

Every morning laughter as we search high and low,

That tiny bit of magic makes the season glow.

(Chorus)

’Cause everyone put that elf on the shelf,

All with holiday cheer, spreading joy by itself.

Sneaky little sparkle bringing smiles ear to ear,

That elf is the heart of our holiday cheer.

(Bridge)

Oh, the bells are ringing, the nights are shining bright,

The elf keeps us guessing till Christmas night.

With cocoa in our mugs and the family near—

He reminds us what matters every single year.

(Final Chorus)

’Cause everyone put that elf on the shelf,

All with holiday cheer, spreading joy by itself.

Dancing through December, bringing magic near,

That elf on the shelf fills the world with cheer.
