Making Toys

STANZA 1: Making toys --- when you're an Elf, better be good, And you must also use quality wood! Quality must come first. That is an Elf's matter of pride, Which ev'ry Yuletide they/we provide! They're/We're all master artists when they paint; They've/We've never heard one complaint! Colorful work improves; Start with some green, yellow and blue --- Happily making toys for you! (Instrumental pause) STANZA 2: Making toys, tons of toys for a zillion girls and boys, All the toys ev'ry girl and boy enjoys: From animals and sailing boats To dolls with shiny shoes and coats And toys for boys who like a lot of noise! Sweets and treats for your tums, Made with thousand-gallon drums --- It becomes one of life's great joys. Elves/We are here to make your Christmas better ev'ry year --- They/We really love making toys! (instrumental break) STANZA 3: Making toys, there's not a thing that they adore, And it can carry them rightly along! They're/We're at it all year long, As soon as one business is done, Business of next year has begun! They/we work all the day and nighttime, too, 'Cause Christmas is all they/we do! Happy to tell you now, knowing the skill that it employs, There is no thrill like making toys! STANZA 4: Making toys ev'ry year is a very fine career, And they/we work in a happy atmosphere! They/We carve and weave and paint enough, So many of the things you love, And all their/our love is ever very clear! Though they/we say so themselves, They/We are very clever elves, And their/our shelves show their perfect poise! Elves/We are seldom done, you see, when Christmas time is near --- Let's hear it for making toys! FINALE: Making toys, that is the best job there can be, And ev'ry toy they/we make can be a friend; Ev-er-y Christmas Eve, they/we have a big task to achieve; Keeping them/us making toys --- Happily making toys again!
