Christmastown Lyrics - Elf: The Musical - Original Broadway Cast

SANTA: 

You know Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, 

and Frosty the Snowman, too. 

But did you ever hear the story of the elf 

who grew and grew and grew? 

ELVES: 

Fa la, la, la, la, la, la. 

La, la, la, la, la, la, la. 

BUDDY: 

When you're born a Christmas elf, you wake up every morning 

feeling like a lucky so and so. 

Knowing there are toys to make and trees that need adorning makes you laugh from head to mistletoe. 

Life is just so Christmasy it's hard to grow a callus. 

Who could look at gingerbread and frown? 

And since I love Saint Nick and the aurora borealis - 

It's clear that I belong in Christmas Town. 

I always get a special glow 

when the snow comes falling down, 

so without a doubt I know 

I belong in Christmas Town. 

Being Santa's helper means that you refuse to settle. 

Never let your smile be just a grin. 

I once smiled for six whole months and won a fancy medal. 

It's nice to have a place where I fit in. 

I always get a special glow 

when the snow comes falling down, 

so without a doubt I know 

I belong in Christmas Town. 

ELVES: 

Jing-a-ling-a-ling. 

BUDDY: 

I belong. 

ELVES: 

Jing-a-ling-a-ling. 

BUDDY: 

I belong in Christmas Town. 

ELVES: 

Jing-a-ling-a-ling. 

BUDDY: 

I belong. 

ELVES: 

He belongs in Christmas Town. 

BUDDY: 

And I feel sad for people who have to grow up human. 

I've never met a human, 

but I can't help assumin' they want to be exactly like me 

and have Christmas all year through!
