Let’s Boogey to the Elf Dance! Songtext
von Sufjan Stevens

Uno, dos, tres, quattro

Tie up your boots, jump off the ladder
Pack up your clothes, nothing′s the matter
Mistletoe hangs up in the bedroom
Your sister's bangs, she cut them herself

Santa is here, sleigh bells are ringing
21 elves, they are all singing
K-Mart is closed so is the bakery
Everyone′s home watching TV

Santa Claus is coming
Hear the banjo strumming
Santa Claus is coming
Hear the banjo strumming

Chestnuts and fire, holly and hay
Jesus and Mary, what a great day
Evergreen tree covered in snow
Tower of Babel, tower of gold


There's Aunt Marie and Uncle Bob
They give us good gifts like mittens and socks
Hijack a snow plow, clear out the streets
Tell all of the neighbors there's cookies to eat

Get up off the floor and give a shout
There′s a lot to shout about
Santa Claus is coming to town
He′s got the greatest gifts around

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head
The stars in the sky looked down where he lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep in the hay

The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes
The little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes
I love you Lord Jesus, look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle 'til morning is nigh

Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask thee to stay
Close by me forever and love me, I pray
Bless all the dear children in thy tender care
And fit us for heaven to live with thee there


Santa Claus is coming
Hear the banjos strumming
Santa Claus is coming
Hear the banjos strumming

Santa Claus is coming
Hear the banjos strumming
Santa Claus is coming
Hear the banjos strumming

Get up off the floor and shout
There′s a lot to shout about
Santa Claus is coming to town
He's got the greatest gifts around
