about
An inspirational children's Christmas song

lyrics
Be an elf to yourself
put your worries on the shelf
Get down your bells and whistles and kazoos
Put your green velvet on like a Christmas leprechaun
and don’t forget your little curly shoes
And go dancing and prancing and laughing aloud
Singing and swinging
Shake your inhibitions all over there ground
Shake your inhibitions all over there ground
Be an elf to yourself
take your dreams off the shelf
Kiss them and hold them to your heart
Take your fairy dust out and toss it all about
Right now is the place to start
And go dancing and prancing and laughing aloud
Singing and swinging
The magic inside is where the spirit is found
The spirit inside is where the magic is found
Be an elf to yourself
take your love off the shelf
Give yourself a hug I’ll tell you why
In the mirror there’s a friend
who will be there till the end
You’ll see it in the twinkle of your eye
And go dancing prancing laughing aloud
Singing and swinging
The magic inside is where the spirit is found
Shake your inhibitions all over there ground
Be yourself
