They've got good hearts

With a burning desire

To work hard

They don't even get tired

Never try to get a taste of the spotlight

No they only wanna make Santa shine bright

Oh oh

In the workshop mm

Making cookies and candy

With Mrs Claus mmm

While Santa's sippin' brandy

And they don't even mind that it's so cold

'Cos they love living life in the North Pole

Oh

Ohhhh

Let's give a cheer for the elves

They do like nobody else

Working all day and all night

To make your wish come alive

Making dolls making trains

Making model airplanes

Helping Santa with a smile on their face

Let's give a cheer for the elves hey

A cheer for the elves

In the mailroom

They read every letter

That was sent through

And no matter the weather

They always make sure Santa gets out

And he gets every single last gift out

Ha

Ahhhh

Let's give a cheer for the elves

They do like nobody else

Working all day and all night

To make your wish come alive

Making dolls making trains

Making model airplanes

Helping Santa with a smile on their face

Let's give a cheer for the elves hey

A cheer for the elves

Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la

Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la

Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la

Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la

Making dolls making trains

Making model airplanes

Helping Santa with a smile on their face

Let's give a cheer for the elves hey

A cheer for the elves

Hip Hip Hooray

Hip Hip

Hip Hip Hooray

Hip Hip

Ohhhhhhooooo

Let's give a cheer for the elves

They do like nobody else

Working all day and all night

To make your wish come alive

Making dolls making trains making model airplanes

Helping Santa with a smile on their face

Let's give a cheer for the elves hey

A cheer for the elves

Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la

Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la
