Lyrics
PAGE ONE
FRESH OUT OF TOYS
SANTA MAKES HIS WAY BACK
WHEN HE HEARS A SMALL NOISE
FROM INSIDE OF HIS PACK
A SOUND THAT'S NOT UNLIKE A
BABY'S CRY
IT'S ENOUGH TO LEAVE THE JOLLY
GUY PERPLEXED
AND?
AND?
AND?
AND?
COME ON, BUDDY, WHAT COMES
NEXT?!
A baby inside Santa's bag? It's not a
bad start.
He's buying it! Keep going!
PAGE TWO
BACK FROM HIS RIDE
SANTA GATHERS HIS ELVES
HE GAHTERS HIS ELVES
AND THEY
QUICKLY DECIDE
THEY'LL RAISE THE BABY
THEMSELVES
THE NORTH POLE ISN'T MADE FOR
HUMANS, THOUGH
AND SOON THE PHONY ELF
BEGINS TO GROW SO TALL
HE...
HE?
HE?
HE...
LEARNS HE'S HUMAN AFTER ALL!
Right!
Good one, dad!
IT'S THE STORY OF
BUDDY THE ELF
IT'S THE STORY OF
BUDDY THE ELF
IT'S THE STORY OF
IT'S KIND OF BRILLIANT IF I SAY SO
MYSELF
IT'S THE STORY OF BUDDY THE
ELF!
So the baby finds out he's human!
Then what?
Well, then he goes to New York, and,
uh, it gets complicated, see...
PAGE THREE
HIS FATHER'S AT WORK
WHEN BUDDY WALKS THROUGH
THE DOOR
HIS DAD
IS SORT OF A JERK
AND BUDDY'S BANNED FROM THE
FLOOR
HIS FATHER'S NOT PREPARED TO
BE A DAD
TO A SON HE NEVER KNEW HE HAD
BUT SOON
HE'LL BE FORCED TO CHANGE
HIS TUNE
HE'LL BE FORCED TO CHANGE
HIS TUNE!
IT'S THE STORY OF
BUDDY THE ELF
IT'S THE STORY OF
BUDDY THE ELF
IT'S THE STORY OF
IT'S KIND OF BRILLIANT IF HE SAYS
SO HIMSELF
IT'S THE STORY OF BUDDY THE ELF
AND MAYBE BUDDY HELPS HIS DAD
IN A SETTING MUCH LIKE THIS
AND MAYBE HIS FATHER LEARNS
A SON
IS SOMETHING HE CAN'T DISMISS
THEY MIGHT LEARN THAT THEY
NEED EACH OTHER
MUCH MORE THAN THEY KNOW
MAYBE THE POINT OF THE STORY IS
IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO GROW
IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO GROW
IT'S THE STORY OF
BUDDY THE ELF
IT'S THE STORY OF
BUDDY THE ELF
IT'S THE STORY OF
AND THE BOOKS WILL FLY RIGHT
OFF THE SHELF
IT'S THE STORY OF
BUDDY THE ELF
I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT, I DO!
I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT, I DO!
I LOVE THAT STORY, LOVE THAT
STORY, LOVE THAT STORY
HE LOVES THAT STORY, LOVES
THAT STORY, LOVES THAT STORY
HE LOVES THAT STORY, LOVES
THAT STORY, LOVES THAT STORY
IT'S THE STORY OF
BUDDY THE ELF
IT'S THE STORY OF
BUDDY THE ELF
IT'S THE STORY OF
AND THE BOOKS WILL FLY RIGHT
OFF THE SHELF
IT'S THE STORY OF
BUDDY THE ELF
IT'S THE STORY OF
BUDDY THE ELF
IT'S THE STORY OF

OFF THE SHELF

ELF!

STORY, LOVE THAT STORY
