i'm the happy elf

[seichan]

first, it was non-stop soft rock..and now xmas tunes all day long.

'the happy elf' by harry connick jr is one of the lesser loathsome songs mostly because it's insane and i don't believe it's about christmas at all.


Seven days a week
Ev'ry week of the month
And ev'ry month of the year
He's got us making presents
And I'm happy

Ev'ry girl and boy
Gets their own kind of toy
We like to fill 'em with joy
We're workin' over time
To make 'em happy

Then on Christmas eve
We jump on big red's sleigh
We don't miss a chimney
On our jolly way

We won't stop until
Every kid gets a fill
Of Santa's brand of good will
The thrill of spilling cheer
Just makes us happy

So, if you've been good yourself
You might see the happy elf
Stop by your house and make
You very happy

The happy elf
I'm the happy elf
I'm the happy elf and I just might stop on by
The happy elf
I'm the happy elf
I'm the happy elf and I just might stop on by
I'm Santa's spy!


a particularly irritating song is whitney houston's rendition of 'the christmas song' where she adds a wailing 'Happy Chanukah' and 'Happy Kwanzaa' randomly at the end...because santa is obviously the figurehead for those holidays, too.
