Lyrics
INTRO: Santa's elves all laugh and sing
Making the toys that Santa brings
But not one child would be enthralled
If it weren't for Archibald
VERSE: Archibald Elf fills up his shelf
With plans for toys for next year's Christmas
Drawers upon drawers for Mr. Claus
He'll pick his favorite
CHORUS: Gadgets and games Spaceships and trains
Dollies and drums So when Christmas comes
There'll be puppets and puzzles
And stuffed toys to cuddle
That all the boys and girls will just love
BRIDGE: But this year Santa's late
It's almost New Year's Day
Next year's toys won't wait
So Mrs. Claus must say Hey
VERSE: Archibald Elf please won't you help
There's work to do the elves are waiting
You know the plans pretend you're Santa
This year you pick the
CHORUS
solo: VERSE & BRIDGE
VERSE: Proud of himself is Archibald Elf
When Santa turns up in the doorway
Archy my boy my pride and my joy
You've picked the perfect
CHORUS
