There are all kinds of stories
That people have told
About reindeer and snowmen
Legends of old
Scrooges and grinches
Yeah, that rings a bell
But I have one
I'd like to tell
Kris P. the Christmas Elf
Sitting on a shelf, all by himself
Making sure that the kids will behave
From the first of December 'til Christmas day
Bright green business suit
With a stocking cap, and jingle boots
He oversees all Christmas cheer
Still gets a kick after twenty years
He's on the job, looking sharp, he's so happy
Painting stripes on the candy canes
He's so at home, putting bows on the wrapping
While he's whistling the time away
One night the children said
Right before they went to bed
"Don't you think that he deserves a friend?"
So they typed up a letter and then pressed send
To Santa at the old Northpole
Saying "Hey, our guy Krispy has a heart of gold
Forget the toys, we got one request
We just think he needs himself a bff
Bring someone, he can have fun on the shelf with
On his level, his own size
We decide that it's time to give him our gift
Don't you think that he'd be so surprised!"
Now, Krispy and Crystal sit
Together on the shelf, like a perfect fit
Who'd have thought, the jolliest elf
Could be even jollier, now he's with someone else
Crystal made it all complete
Now they're one big happy family
All be'Cause of what the children did
Now they got double love to give
They're on the job, arm and arrm, they're so happy
Painting stripes on the candy canes
So at home, putting bows on the wrapping
While they're whistling in harmony
