Hello to all. This is my new Christmas song for this year, with lovely music and performing by Mr. ShakeyDave. This is the traditional story of how Santa came to capture the elves and enslave them as free labor. I embellish some (that is my new word for this week. "Embellish." Not "some." I already knew "some") by imagining the elves are trying to escape and telling from their point of perspective. Istvan says this is his very favorite Oszkars song ever that he did not write, and that he could almost perform it at a party in Vac just the way Mr. Shakey has made it.
Santa’s Desperate Elves
Music and performance are by Mr. ShakeyDave
Lyric words by Miklos Kozma
We’re writing you this letter
We’re sending you this note
We’ve placed it in this package
Atop this plastic boat
Although we know we’re strangers
Don’t toss our note away
Please listen to our message
Here’s what we have to say:
A fat and bearded devil
Who dressed in evil red
Snuck into the land of elves
And bonked us on the head
Help, help—elves are crying
Help, help—elves are dying
Please save Santa’s desperate elves
Help, help—elves are crying
Santa’s Satan, we’re not lying
Please save Santa’s desperate elves
No one hears us scream or whistle
All we’re fed is reindeer gristle
Please save Santa’s desperate elves
What we need’s a guided missile
That will make the old fart fizzle
Please save Santa’s desperate elves
We’re either held in shackles
Or else we’re bound with rope
We’re hungry and we’re frozen
We’re running out of hope
There’s some who do the wrapping
But none who get away
And once a year he drugs us
Then flies off in his sleigh
Help, help—elves are crying
Help, help—elves are dying
Please save Santa’s desperate elves
Help, help—elves are crying
Santa’s Satan, we’re not lying
Please save Santa’s desperate elves
No one hears us scream or whistle
All we’re fed is reindeer gristle
Please save Santa’s desperate elves
What we need’s a guided missile
That will make the old fart fizzle
Please save Santa’s desperate elves
Inhumanity, pure insanity
A booted, bearded thug
And the Mrs.? Twice as vicious!
She’ll stomp you like a bug
Help, help—elves are crying
Help, help—elves are dying
Please save Santa’s desperate elves
Help, help—elves are crying
Santa’s Satan, we’re not lying
Please save Santa’s desperate elves
Help, help—elves are crying
Help, help—elves are dying
Please save Santa’s desperate elves
Help, help—elves are crying
Santa’s Satan, we’re not lying
Please save Santa’s desperate elves
Please save Santa’s desperate elves
Please save Santa’s desperate elves
Save the elves!
