Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh, hey
[Verse 1]
Woke up this morning, what could it be?
That little red hat was nowhere to be seen
Where did he go? No way to know (No way to know)
I guess we're playing hide-and-seek (Oh no)
[PreChorus]
Oh, he's sneaky, he's sly, he tip-toes through the night
He's quick, oh my, a rollercoaster ride (Rollercoaster ride)
He's up, he's down, he's left, he's right
How we gonna catch this guy?
[Chorus]
Oh, you know that he's an elf on the shelf (Elf)
Have you seen him? He's an elf on the shelf (Elf)
We ain't seen him, he's an elf on the movin' and a groovin'
He was here, now he's there, now he's where? (Oh no)
[Verse 2]
I saw a trail of little footprints (Of what? Of little footprints)
And so I followed them up into the distance (Into the distance)
Guess what I found? A sticky situation (What? Oh no)
He was swimming 'round the soup in the kitchen
[PreChorus]
Oh, he's sneaky, he's sly, he tip-toes through the night
He's quick, oh my, a rollercoaster ride (Rollercoaster ride)
He's up, he's down, he's left, he's right
How we gonna catch this guy?
[Chorus]
Oh, you know that he's an elf on the shelf (Elf)
Have you seen him? Yeah, he's an elf on the shelf (Elf)
We ain't seen him, he's an elf on the movin' and a groovin'
He was here, now he's there, now he's where?
[Bridge]
Was he a dude on the food?
A crook on a book?
A snitch in the ditch?
Then where should we look?
Was he a bug on the rug? A fool in the pool?
A goose on the loose? A punk on the trunk?
A clown on the ground? A rat on the hat?
Where is he at?
[Bridge]
The toymaker extraordinaire
Is there, up on the stair
[Outro]
Ah-hah
Ah, get him
He was just an elf on the shelf
And nobody knows where he's going
[Outro]
Oh no
