The Elf's Life
Elves play in snow outside at night
'til morning light.
Then work away
to load the sleigh.
'til morning light.
Then work away
to load the sleigh.
They tug and push big sacks of toys
for girls and boys,
but it's like play
to make kids' day.

As Santa boards his sleigh that night
with laughter light
to fulfill dreams
thanks to elf teams.
