The Christmas Elf Conscription Song by Marc Gunn, Dec 16, 2008 Ho ho! Merry Christmas with a rat-ta-ta-tum, The presents we make will bring joy to children. Santa's smiling and stroking his beard with his thumb Come celebrate Christmas with me, with me! Come celebrate Christmas with me! Twas a fortnight following St. Patrick's Day When across the thin veil the Leprechauns came To Shebeg and Sheemore to dance with the fae To join the fine craic until morning. Ol' Lucky was sitting and drinking stout brew When in walked two elves with green hats and red shoes He smiled and said, "Why! How do you do? Pull a seat up and drink here with me." The larger elf said, "Let me buy you a beer. T'was a great Paddy's Day from all that I hear!" The other elf added, "I've a secret to share. Just listen and the next round's on me." Lucky drank his first pint while singing a song. The second pint came as he was feeling quite strong. But the shot of hot whiskey, made him feel all wrong. That's when the elves began to speak. "Kris Kringle sent us to recruit by ourselves. But the Keeblers are busy. S.P.E.W.'s freeing house elves. I guess what we're staying is we've chosen quite well. Your going to the North Pole with me." They dragged him outside. Tied him to a reindeer To the North Pole they flew to serve a full year. You Leprechauns take note of Santa's elves and beware Don't share in the craic of the fae.
