and he was Dhanging from the blinds
everythinAg that he is doing blows my Emind
he was hAaving tea with Barbie
he was iDn my underwear

EElf on the ShelAf

Every nEight he talks to Santa
so you bDetter be real Agood
and you bEetter eat your supper
you should Dreally clean your Aroom
or you’ll Aend up on the naughty list

so be gAood for the Eelf on the sheAlf
[Verse 3]
So I’m Ahoping that he saw me

and I’m Ahoping that sees the good I Edo
But does SAanta know the trouble
that this Dlittle elf has caused
this Atroublemaking Eelf on the sheAlf

you should Dreally clean your rAoom
or you’ll Aend up on the naughty list

Now I’m lAaying in my bed
and I’m bDundled up real tight
I am stoAked and I can Ebarely close my eyes
but I knAow that he is leaving
and I’m jDust a little sad
say goodAbye to the Eelf on the sAhelf
[Chorus]
Every nEight he talks to Santa

and you Ebetter eat your supper
you should rDeally clean your rAoom
or you’ll eAnd up on the naughty list
you Dknow that’s never gAood

[Verse 1]

I woke up on the morning

after turkey day was gone

he just sat there grinning at me all day long

then I heard about the story

how he’s keeps his eyes on me

A E A

who is he he’s the elf on the shelf

A D D A

[Verse 2]

he was sitting on the stairs

and he was hanging from the blinds

A E

everything that he is doing blows my mind

he was having tea with Barbie

he was in my underwear

he’s the troublemaking

E A

Elf on the Shelf

[Chorus]

Every night he talks to Santa

D A

so you better be real good

and you better eat your supper

D A

you should really clean your room

or you’ll end up on the naughty list

D A

you know that’s never good

A E A

so be good for the elf on the shelf

[Verse 3]

So I’m hoping that he saw me

being kind to barbara sue

A E

and I’m hoping that sees the good I do

But does Santa know the trouble

that this little elf has caused

A E A

this troublemaking elf on the shelf

[Chorus]

Every night he talks to Santa

D A

so you better be real good

and you better eat your supper

D A

you should really clean your room

or you’ll end up on the naughty list

D A

you know that’s never good

A E A

so be good for the elf on the shelf

[Verse 4]

Now I’m laying in my bed

and I’m bundled up real tight

A E

I am stoked and I can barely close my eyes

but I know that he is leaving

and I’m just a little sad

A E A

say goodbye to the elf on the shelf

[Chorus]

Every night he talks to Santa

D A

so you better be real good

and you better eat your supper

D A

you should really clean your room

or you’ll end up on the naughty list

D A

you know that’s never good
