[Chorus]
Oh, where’s that elf, the elf on the shelf?
Hiding so sneaky, just like himself!
He’s watching and waiting, spreading some cheer,
Our magical elf is always near!

[Verse 1]
This morning I found him, up in the tree,
Hanging with ornaments, smiling at me!
He’s quick on his feet, oh, what a sight,
I wonder where he’ll be tonight?

[Chorus]
Oh, where’s that elf, the elf on the shelf?
Hiding so sneaky, just like himself!
He’s watching and waiting, spreading some cheer,
Our magical elf is always near!

[Verse 2]
At breakfast, I saw him, perched on a jar,
He used marshmallows to build a sweet car!
He giggled and waved as I walked by,
That silly elf is always spry!

[Chorus]
Oh, where’s that elf, the elf on the shelf?
Hiding so sneaky, just like himself!
He’s watching and waiting, spreading some cheer,
Our magical elf is always near!

[Verse 3]
At lunchtime, I spotted him under the sink,
Wrapped in tinsel, so red and pink!
He must’ve been planning a festive surprise,
That twinkling elf, so full of lies!

[Chorus]
Oh, where’s that elf, the elf on the shelf?
Hiding so sneaky, just like himself!
He’s watching and waiting, spreading some cheer,
Our magical elf is always near!

[Verse 4]
Before bedtime, I found him near my shoes,
With glitter and ribbons, making some clues.
“Follow the sparkles,” the elf had said,
Leading me right to my cozy bed!

[Chorus]
Oh, where’s that elf, the elf on the shelf?
Hiding so sneaky, just like himself!
He’s watching and waiting, spreading some cheer,
Our magical elf is always near!

[Verse 5]
Each day is a mystery, what will he do?
He’s playful and silly, but caring too!
I love my elf, he’s my Christmastime friend,
With joy and laughter, till the season’s end!

[Chorus]
Oh, where’s that elf, the elf on the shelf?
Hiding so sneaky, just like himself!
He’s watching and waiting, spreading some cheer,
Our magical elf is always near!
