G        C          D
    Theres an elf in my closet 
    G     C  G    D
    I am so so surprised 
        G    C          D
    I dont know what to do 
              G
    Will you help me decide

         -chorus-
         G     C       D
    If santa left him here
                   G          C     D
    That means Christmas is really near cause
      G        C          D
    Theres an elf in my closet
        G        C           D     G
    I think he belongs to someone else
    G   C    G                G         C
    He has pointy ears and a big long nose 
          G     C        D
    Hes also short and small

    
              G   C          D
    Should I put him in my room 
                 G    C     D
    Or keep him as a class pet
      G        C                D
    Should I throw him in the trash
        G         C         D
    Or make him scury in a dash
    G    C    G        C            D
    We could take him to the North Pole 
         G         C      C           D
    But that would be a really long stroll


            (chorus)

      G        G       C       G        D
    Should I take him to the lost and found
        G         C       D
    Or keep him till the 25th 
      G      C          A               D
    Santa Clause was slidin down the chimeny
          G         C      D
    And thats what woke me up
    G        G     C      D

    If Santa left him here
                   G            C     D
    That meant Christmas was really near cause
      G           C          D
    There was an elf in my closet
