Verse 1:
I'm a man of reason, and they say 'tis the season
To be jolly, but it's folly when you volley for position
Never in existence has there been such a resistance
To ideas meant to free us, if you could see us then you'd listen
Toiling through the ages making toys on garnished wages
There's no union, we're only through when we outdo the competition
Chorus:
I make toys but I've got aspirations
Make some noise, use your imagination
Girls and boys, before you wish for
What you wish for, there's a list for who's been
Dsus2 Cadd9 G/B G C Csus4 C N.C.
Naughty or nice, but consider the price to an elf
Verse 2:
A full indentured servitude can reflect on one's attitude
But that silly red hat just makes the fat man look outrageous
Absurd though it may seem, you know I've heard there's even been
Illegal doping, and though we're coping, I just hope it's not contagious
You try to start a movement and you think you see improvement
But when thrown into the moment, we just don't seem so courageous
Chorus:
I make toys but I've got aspirations
Make some noise, use your imagination
Girls and boys, before you wish for
What you wish for, there's a list for who's been
Naughty or nice, but consider the price to an elf
Bridge:
You look at yourself, you're an elf
And the shelf is just filled with disappointing memories
Trends come and go, and your friends wanna know
Why you aren't just happy making crappy little gizmos
Dm G Csus4 C N.C.
Every kid knows they'll just throw this stuff away
Verse 3:
We're used to repetition so we drew up a petition
We the undersigned feel undermined, let's redefine employment
We know that we've got leverage, so we'll hand the fat man a beverage
He'll sit back while we attack the utter lack of our enjoyment
It may be tough to swallow, but our threats are far from hollow
Dm7 G7 C N.C. E7
He may thunder, but if he blunders he may wonder where the toys went
Chorus:
I make toys but I've got aspirations
Make some noise, use your imagination
Girls and boys, before you wish for
What you wish for, there's a list for who's been
Naughty or nice, but consider the price
Naughty or nice, but consider the price
