Burl Ives - We Are Santa's Elves Lyrics






Ho ho ho
Ho ho ho
We are Santa's elves

We are Santa's elves
Filling Santa's shelves
With a toy for each girl and boy
Oh, we are Santa's elves

We work hard all day
But our work is play
Dolls we try out, see if they cry out
We are Santa's elves

We've a special job each year
We don't like to brag
Christmas Eve we always fill Santa's bag

Santa knows who's good
Do the things you should
And we bet you, he won't forget you
We are Santa's elves

We've a special job each year
We don't like to brag
Christmas Eve we always fill Santa's bag

Santa knows who's good
Do the things you should
And we bet you, he won't forget you
We are Santa's elves

Ho ho ho
Ho ho ho
We are Santa's elves, ho ho!

    WE ARE SANTA'S ELVES
    by Johnny Marks

    🎵 We are Santa's Elves, building Santa's shelves, 🎵
    🎵 with a toy for each girl and boy, oh, we are Santa's Elves. 🎵
    🎵 We work hard all day, but our work is plain. 🎵
    🎵 Dolls we tried out, see that they cried out, we are Santa's Elves. 🎵
    🎵 We've a special job each year. We don't like to brag. 🎵
    🎵 Christmas Eve we always fill Santa's bag. 🎵
    🎵 Santa knows who's good, do the things you should, 🎵
    🎵 and we bet you, he won't forget you, we are Santa's Elves. 🎵

  14. F.... C....

    "We don't like to brag." I always liked how the tall elf comes out of nowhere to say that line.

    F.... C....

    The only line I can 'remember

  15. A.... P....

    Wow that's weird... I was just now able to do a mash-up of this song with "The Internet is for Porn" from the play "Avenue Q". A little clunky, but it worked.

  16. T.... L....

    I worked at Walmart one year.. the employees @ garden center were forced to listen to this on repeat all through Christmas.. I felt so bad for them man XD

  17. s.... t....

    I love this song.

  18. I.... C....

    Why weren't you at elf practice?!

    I.... C....

    Just fixing this doll’s teeth!

  19. S.... ....

    Gus Johnson Anyone?

  20. J.... L....

    I love this song! :)

  21. S.... M....

    Now lets try the new Elf song I wrote, and remember; It's for Santa! And a one-a, and a two-a, and a three-a!

    S.... M....

    (this song plays)

    S.... M....

    @Frankie 513 Zaremba That sounded terrible. The tenor section was weak.

  22. L.... P....

    Christmas 2017 anybody ?

  23. Q.... ....

    That sounded terrible. The tenor section was weak.

    Q.... ....

    @The Funky Frogz Dude Just fix them! Now listen, we have dolls that cry, talk, walk, blink and run a temperature. We don't need chewing dolls.

    Q.... ....

    I just thought i found a way to fit in

    Q.... ....

    @The Funky Frogz Dude You'll never fit in! Now you come elf practice and learn how to wiggle your ears and chuckle warmly and go he-he and ho-ho and important stuff like that. A dentist. GOOD GRIEF!

    Q.... ....

    No, i just can’t, it’s like he said, i’ll never fit in, i guess i’m on my own now

    Q.... ....

    @The Funky Frogz Dude 🎶 You can't fire me, I quit! 🎶

  24. I.... S....

    Hmm It needs work I gotta go.

    I.... S....

    But i don't need anyone I'm independent

    I.... S....

    Me too, I'm... independent. Hey, let's both be independent together, huh? It's a deal!

    I.... S....

    Ian Swee

    I.... S....

    I.... S....

    P.... R....

    P.... R....

    Colleen Popper YOU’ll NEVER FIT IN!!

    P.... R....

    Now you come to elf practice and learn how to wiggle your ears and chuckle warmly and go hee hee and ho ho and important stuff like that! A dentist! GOOD GRIEF!!!

  26. R.... P....

    God, I rewatched this yesterday and realized how much of an asshole Santa was!

    R.... P....

    Come to think of it, Santa WAS a jerk in the movie, wasn't he? Gee, Santa! You're crueler than I thought!

    R.... P....

    +Will Youngman Santa is officially a douchebag 😂

  27. T.... T....

    Modern day remix of this? I would vote on it, so long as they stayed true to the style used in the original. Those are the best types of modern remixes of older songs.

    T.... T....

    Btw, for those that remember this show and know the reference, doesn't the tallest elf in this scene remind anyone of Mr. Crocker from Fairly Odd Parents when he disguised himself as an Elf?

    T.... T....

    Will Youngman *FAIRIES!!*

    T.... T....

    +Will Youngman OH MY GOD BOTH SHOWS HAVE BEEN RUINED 😂😂😂

  28. J.... A....

    this song is the song that im gonna do in my holiday parade

    It is springtime and I'm listening to this while trying to fall asleep. What's wrong with me

  31. C.... F....
