elf’s lament

Wednesday, December 20th, 2006

I’m a man of reason, and they say
“‘Tis the season to be jolly”
But it’s folly when you volley for position

Never in existence
Has there been such a resistance
To ideas meant to free us
If you could see us, then you’d listen

Toiling through the ages,
Making toys on garnished wages
There’s no union
We’re only through when we outdo the competition

I make toys,
But I’ve got aspirations
Make some noise,
Use your imagination
Girls and boys, before you wish for what you wish for
There’s a list for
Who’s been naughty or nice,
But consider the price to an elf

A full indentured servitude
Can reflect on one’s attitude
But that silly red hat just makes the fat man look outrageous

Absurd though it may seem,
You know, I’ve heard there’s even been
Illegal doping
And though we’re coping,
I just hope it’s not contagious

You try to start a movement,
And you think you see improvement
But when thrown into the moment,
We just don’t seem so courageous

I make toys,
But I’ve got aspirations
Make some noise,
Use your imagination
Girls and boys, before you wish for what you wish for
There’s a list for
Who’s been naughty or nice,
But consider the price to an elf

You look at yourself
You’re an elf
And the shelf
Is just filled with disappointing memories
Trends come and go,
And your friends wanna know
Why you aren’t just happy
Making crappy little gizmos
Every kid knows
They’ll just throw this stuff away

We’re used to repetition,
So we drew up a petition
We, the undersigned,
Feel undermined
Let’s redefine “employment”

We know that we’ve got leverage,
So we’ll hand the fat man a beverage
And sit back while we attack
The utter lack of our enjoyment

It may be tough to swallow,
But our threats are far from hollow
He may thunder,
But if he blunders,
He may wonder where the toys went

I make toys,
But I’ve got aspirations
Make some noise,
Use your imagination
Girls and boys, before you wish for what you wish for
There’s a list for
Who’s been naughty or nice,
But consider the price
Naughty or nice,
But consider the price
Naughty or nice,
But consider the price to an elf

donde esta santa claus?

Mamacita, donde esta Santa Claus?
Donde esta Santa Claus?
And the toys that he will leave.
Mamacita, oh, where is Santa Claus?
I look for him because it’s a Christmas Eve.

I know that I should be sleeping,
But maybe he’s not far away,
Out of the window I’m peeping,
Hoping to see him in his sleigh.

I hope he won’t forget to clack his castinets,
And to his reindeer, say,
“On Pancho, On Vixen, On Pedro, On Blitzen!”
Ole! Ole! Ole! Santa Claus

Mamacita, donde esta Santa Claus?
Oh where is Santa Claus?
It’s Christmas Eve.

I know that I should be sleeping,
But maybe he’s not far away,
So out of the window I’m peeping,
Hoping to see him in sleigh.

“On Pasty, Oh donde, On Pesky, Oh donde,”
Ole! Ole! Ole! Santa Claus

Mamacita, donde esta Santa Claus?
Oh where is Santa Claus?
It’s Christmas Eve.
Oh where is Santa Claus?
It’s Christmas Eve.

hey santa

If everyday was Christmas
If we could make believe
If everyone would care a little more
There’d be harmony

The city is covered in snow tonight
The children fast asleep
I’m waiting for him, but he’s nowhere in sight
And I wonder if he can hear me

Hey Santa
Hey Santa, Santa
I wish with all my might
Hey Santa
Hey Santa, Santa
Bring my baby home tonight

Why does it feel like it’s colder than winter
Even by the fireside?
My baby said that he’d be home for Christmas
And now it’s almost midnight
The Christmas lights up and down the street
Are such a sight to see
But all the presents by the tree,
They don’t mean a thing till he’s with me

Hey Santa
Hey Santa, Santa
I wish with all my might
Hey Santa
Hey Santa, Santa
If you hear me, won’t you hurry
Bring my baby tonight

I know your sleigh is full inside
But won’t you stop and give my baby a ride
I’ll be waiting by candlelight this Christmas
The Christmas lights up and down the street
Are such a sight to see
But all the presents by the tree
They don’t mean a thing
Santa, please hear me

Hey Santa
Hey Santa, Santa
I wish with all my might
Hey Santa
Hey Santa, Santa
If you hear me won’t you hurry
Bring my baby tonight

The Christmas lights up and down the street
The presents by the tree
I hear a knock, oh can it be?
My wish is staring back at me

Hey Santa
Hey Santa, Santa
I guess you heard me tonight, yeah
Hey Santa
Hey Santa, Santa
I’m underneath the mistletoe
With my baby tonight

Sleigh ride, Sleigh ride, Sleigh ride, with my baby tonight
Hey Santa
It’s Christmas time
Sleigh ride, Sleigh ride, Sleigh ride, with my baby tonight
Hey Santa
It’s Christmas time
It’s a merry merry Christmas baby
Sleigh ride, Sleigh ride, Sleigh ride, with my baby tonight
Hey Santa
It’s Christmas time
