| Woke up this morning, what could it be? |
| That little red hat was nowhere to be seen |
| Where did he go? No way to know (No way to know) |
| I guess we're playing hide-and-seek (Oh no) |
|
| Oh, he's sneaky, he's sly, he tip-toes through the night |
| He's quick, oh my, a rollercoaster ride (Rollercoaster ride) |
| He's up, he's down, he's left, he's right |
| How we gonna catch this guy? |
|
| Oh, you know that he's an elf on the shelf (Elf) |
| Have you seen him? He's an elf on the shelf (Elf) |
| We ain't seen him, he's an elf on the movin' and a groovin' |
| He was here, now he's there, now he's where? (Oh no) |
|
| I saw a trail of little footprints (Of little footprints ) |
| And so I followed them up into the distance (Into the distance) |
| Guess what I found? A sticky situation (Oh no) |
| He was swimming round the soup in kitchen |
|
| Oh, he's sneaky, he's sly, he tip-toes through the night |
| He's quick, oh my, a rollercoaster ride (Rollercoaster ride) |
| He's up, he's down, he's left, he's right |
| How we gonna catch this guy? |
|
| Oh, you know that he's an elf on the shelf (Elf) |
| Have you seen him? Yeah, he's an elf on the shelf (Elf) |
| We ain't seen him, he's an elf on the movin' and a groovin' |
| He was here, now he's there, now he's where? |
|
| Was he a dude on the food? |
| A crook on a book? |
| A snitch in the ditch? |
| Then where should we look? |
| Was he a bug on the rug? A fool in the pool? |
| A goose on the loose? A punk on the trunk? |
| A clown on the ground? A rat on the hat? |
| Where is he at? |
|
| The toymaker extraordinaire |
| Is there, up on the stair |
|
| Ah-hah |
| Ah, get him |
| He was just an elf on the shelf |
| And nobody knows where he's going |
| Oh no |
