The Elf on the Shelf's Night Before Christmas Song

(Instrumental) When the day has finally ended, and the kids are fast asleep And the house is good and quiet without one single peep And with Santa's sleigh now nearing and my last report all filed My Christmas Eve is gearing up To be Scout Elf-e-rif-fi--c'ly wonderfly wild! Oh no! Is that a little kid out of bed? Launch a sturdy candy cable, quickly leap on to the table Shush the dog and calm the kitty as the mayhem mounts Step on broken decorations, lower lofty expectations Lure the kid back to his pillow, every second counts Get the Elf Pets at the ready, hold on tight and hold on steady Have to hurry, have to not lose heart Don't give up and don't get tired Stay awake and stay inspired But my festive plan is falling all apart! It's the night before Christmas But it's not how this should go The night before Christmas I'm wondering will Santa even show? Then what to my won-d'ring elf eyes does appear? A red and gold sleigh with a host of reindeer! Santa! To my happy heart a pounding Down the chimney he comes, bounding Eyes a twinkle, snaps his fingers and it's a quite sight With his magic overflowing, Christmas spirit's only growing 'Cause Santa knows the way to make it all alright The night before Christmas The best that we've had yet The night before Christmas This clearly is a year I won't forget But just before leaving we stop and take in What a magical season and night this has been Then we take off and fly past the stars shining bright Merry Christmas to all (Merry Christmas to all) And to all a good night!
