to help prepare and to wipe out frowns.
Stealing along roads, dashing down lanes,
Pushing through bushes, jumping drains.
Into houses and flats and all homes,
to sneak in quiet, quiet as gnomes.
“I'm here to help you, help you prepare
Prepare for the fun, choose what to wear,
I'm here to decorate and sprinkle the tinsel,
here to play music and make the heart swell
with joy and excitement, to spread joyful smiles,
I've come from a place so cold, I've come miles.
Enjoy the time, Christmas is coming
Up north we've been building and drumming,
playing our music, building toys all the year
and now I've come here to spread some good cheer.
I've come to help you bring light to your life
I am Alfie your helper, your Advent Elf,
I am Alfie the Elf on the Shelf.”
