Christmas Spirits

Hey, why don't you sit down, children?

Grandpa'll tell you a little story

Not so long time ago, perhaps it was even last Christmas, who's to say?

The following story took place in far north

In a beautiful place where northern lights dance in the wintry sky

And millions of stars with smiling moon oversee this magical play

They call this place Lapland

As you know, this is where Santa Claus lives together with Mrs. Santa

And countless elves and other creatures

Usually things go as planned, but one day, somehow

One of the elves found Santa's secret cabin filled with Christmas spirits

An event that almost ruined Christmas

Undecked halls, this seems fishy

Rudolph's running down to Santa's shack

The elves are gone! The times are busy!

I cannot build the toys with one pair of hands

Oh my, the empty shelves, they found the hidden

Spirits of last Christmas: Now I see

Fuel yer nose, we'll search the city

Those guys will drink the world a dry of Irish things

Run, Rudolph run, with bells and whistles

We're searching every bar and guest house

The Santa's call they'll heed, soon wobble

In a circle round the tilted Christmas tree

Santa, pretty please

Won't you let us have more Irish tea for

We'll be fuelled by Christmas Spirits

From this day on 'till the end of times

Why you little tea glazed monsters

These toys I see, they're not exactly for children, I believe

You've gotta be out of your minds

These are toys of a different kind

What would you do with this one anyway

Here's what we'll do now!

Undo the mess, get back in the line now

Then go, build toys and a fiddle

24 days and nights in the moonlight

You'll work and here is a riddle

What doesn't have feet, still runs away, it's time

Alright, back to work now

So once again all was well in the house of Santa

Toys were built and gifts got packed, as usual

But every now and again you may just get something

You did not really wish for

And well, now you should have an idea why

Enough with that infernal yodelling! Get to work!

Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Ohh shut up you!

And this, children, is when Santa learned to hide his Christmas spirits from the elves

But you know, still, sometimes, during Christmas holidays

If you are quiet and smell really carefully

You just may find a tiny trail of Christmas spirit

In your very own home

Now, time to turn in

Go go go

Good night
