Sammy the Elf Lyrics


It’s Christmas eve, late at night

In the silence there’s a thump on the roof

Be still my beating heart

Someone comes down the chimney

Hear the bells jingle

Glimpse a shadow in the dark

A present or a lump of coal

Or is he bringing something worse?

He has spied, so he knows

Who is naughty or nice

Sammy knows your name

If you’ve been good or bad

Once you’re on his list

Better run, hide away

Sammy knows the way

To translate guilt to pain

So be good for your own sake

The Clauses were so low

No kids of their own

Somebody had to build them one

They summoned the best elves of the North Pole

Sammy was born, a freak

And Santa felt so sick

Then, so disgusted

He told him “Ho Ho Ho! Begone!”

He was banned, but he’s not

Giving up to his mission
