There are all kinds of stories That people have told About reindeer and snowmen Legends of old Scrooges and grinches Yeah, that rings a bell But I have one I'd like to tell Kris P. the Christmas Elf Sitting on a shelf, all by himself Making sure that the kids will behave From the first of December 'til Christmas day Bright green business suit With a stocking cap, and jingle boots He oversees all Christmas cheer Still gets a kick after twenty years He's on the job, looking sharp, he's so happy Painting stripes on the candy canes He's so at home, putting bows on the wrapping While he's whistling the time away One night the children said Right before they went to bed "Don't you think that he deserves a friend?" So they typed up a letter and then pressed send To Santa at the old Northpole Saying "Hey, our guy Krispy has a heart of gold Forget the toys, we got one request We just think he needs himself a bff Bring someone, he can have fun on the shelf with On his level, his own size We decide that it's time to give him our gift Don't you think that he'd be so surprised!" Now, Krispy and Crystal sit Together on the shelf, like a perfect fit Who'd have thought, the jolliest elf Could be even jollier, now he's with someone else Crystal made it all complete Now they're one big happy family All be'Cause of what the children did Now they got double love to give They're on the job, arm and arrm, they're so happy Painting stripes on the candy canes So at home, putting bows on the wrapping While they're whistling in harmony
