Once all of Santa´s little elves. Craved some credit for themselves. All year long they would work away. While reindeer come for just one day.
And for that simple one night ride. Their names are sung both far and wide. Now is this fair..? Can you yourself, give the name of just one elf..?
These little guys who make the toys, that Santa takes to girls and boys. Thought that it would not be wrong, and so they wrote a grand elf song.
´Here´s to the elves, Bill and Harry, Charley, Roger, Willie, Mary, Edgar, Rosie, LuCy and Fred. Joe and Howie, Ruth and Ted.´
So it went verse after verse. Each extra verse just made it worse. When old Santa heard their song, the thing was forty minutes long.
It started, he cried, ´Ho, Ho Ho..!´ Ten verses and he shouted,´Whoa..! Here is one thing I knowreal well, a list of all you elves won´t sell.´
´The thing you really have to show, is one to be your elf hero. When folks cheer, their praise will stand, for all the elves in Santa Land.´
´The way to make a good selection, is to hold a special elf election.´ They did and when thevotes were cast, there was a famous elf at last.
The whole elf nation then was ready, to proclaim their hero´Friendly Freddie´. Now Friendly Fred was very cool, he earned all A´s in Elf High School.
Here are some talents of this elf: Why, he could line dance by himself. He´d play the strings right off a fiddle, and Fred would solve the toughest riddle.
Intelligent and handsome, too. He was quite tall at two foot two. On tiptoes he could clearly see, above the tallest reindeer knee.
Amid elf cheers in Santa Land, Santa spoke and shook Fred´s hand, ´Friendly Freddie, I think perhaps,
you´ll fly with me and read the maps.´
Fred took a minute to absorb it: He´d be the first elf into orbit. And as his elf heart swelled withpride. He cried, ´I´ll be on Santa´s ride.´
Now each and every Christmas night, Freddie is there on Santa´sright. Without him Santa wouldn´t know, how to get where he must go.
With those maps Fred´s sure to be, an expert in geography. Nowall the elves are very proud, as they sing this song, long and loud.
Up on the housetop goes our Fred. All dressed up in his suit of red. Helping Santa deliver toys, that we elves made for girls and boys.
Go..! Fred..! Go..! Oh, what a show. Go..! Fred..! Go..! Our elf hero--oo. We elves can cheer the whole night long, and we can sing this nice elf song.
The whole year long we work away. To build a happy Christmas Day. And we are proudtonight because, an elf is riding with Santa Claus.
Go..! Fred..! Go..! Oh, what a show. Go..! Fred..! Go..! Our elf hero--oo. We elves can cheer the whole night long, and we can sing this nice elf song.
So Santa likes this new elf song. That makes elves know that they belong. Here is a secret he shares with you, the reindeer like to sing it, too.
Go..! Fred..! Go..! Oh, what a show. Go..! Fred..! Go..! Our elf hero--oo. Reindeer will cheer the whole night long, as we all sing this nice elf song..!
