Ives, Burl - We Are Santa's Elves Lyrics

OMG as soon as I heard this song for the first time in a long time, I felt happy!

0:54 me having to sit through this weird ass movie with my family every year

Omg ☃️❄️🥛🍪🎁

Such a classic from my childhood!! But why was Santa such a meanie?!?!

WHY WEREN’T YOU AT ELF PRACTICE?!

"That sounded terrible! The tenor section was weak!"

"It wasn't our fault boss, Hermie didn't show up"

That song keeps struck my head. 😉 Who’s watching this in 2019?

is no one going to talk about how the tall glasses-wearing one was literally stuffed into a burlap sack like a freaking murder victim

1:53 Hmmm Well it needs work, I have to go

Correct, that is what he says yes sir

Amazing how you can go literally years and years without seeing this movie, watch this video, and still know how the song goes

Clay mation was so high tech back then

Why isn't this on the radio with why weren't you at elf practice?

I have to sing this song for school

Awesome 👍🏻

Santa is a little mean in this movie. 🥺

Hi Santa Cl
Hi Santa cla
Hi Santa Clau
Hi Santa Claus

no we are santas elfves🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🥳🥳🥳🤩🤩😇

2 things I notice

1. That guy with glasses is not an elf. He’s too tall

2. Hermy gets shit on, but he’s the only male elf with hair.

It does need work

"That sounded TERRIBLE! The tenor section was WEAK!"
"Wasn't our fault, boss! Hermey didn't show up!"
"WHAT?!?!"

Now, this won't hurt a bit.

Why weren't you at Elf practice!?!?!?

@Seth Horst Just fixing these dolls teeth.

1:05-1:30 This showed up on Freeform. I'm dead serious.

Well, there is now.

1:10 I love the brief moment of seeing the head elf without his hat😂😂

Ik why are the elves bald🤔😂

I'm literally walking around work today (on this Happy Friday day) singing this song with my sequin santa hat on. Nobody else is in the mood this year. Oh well.. 🎶😆WE ARE SANTA'S ELVES!🎶🎶🎶👍

You spelled Burl Ives name wrong in the description

W H Y W E R E N T Y O U A T E L F P R A C T I C E

My wife is ready to strangle me for how much I sing this, ultamitely getting it stuck in her head.

0:40 0:42 1:07 1:15 1:21 1:29 and 1:33 ( poking with hat )
Elves goofing off

Is no one gonna talk about how at 0:44 the taller elf just warps into existence?

so I was working at the time, all I heard was a musical and then "YEAH IM BOUTTA HEAD OUT" **BANG**
I honestly thought the show was so bad he had to kill himself right away.

That Elf song is driving me crazy! LOL

I Dont Know Why I Keep Singing

Buddy was late for Elf Practice and he didn't get yelled at?

how could santa say it needs WORK ITS PERFECT!!!

He probably wasn't in a good mood.

That sounded terrible. The tenor section was weak.

Santa was a compete dick in this film 😂😡

00:34 kind of sounds like Mickey!

00:18 magic stick appears!

How did that stick just suddenly appear in his hand?

Santa: Uhh.. It needs work
Me: (100% RAGE) THAT WASA FREAKING CLASSIC SOUNDING CHRISTMAS SONG, A GOLDEN AGE CHRISTMAS SONG & YOU'RE SAYING IT NEEDS SOME WORK?!??

The extended part was part of the DVD

Santa has poor taste.

Wait the boss elf’s voice goes from deep to high i forgot about that

It is believed that a line was added late in production and voiced by a different actor

That Sounded Terrible The Tenor Section Was Weak

1:33 as a kid I use to thought it was his ear that was poking the other elf's eye thus cutting his ear with the scissors lol

I think mrs Claus is boinking the head elf

Someone please tell me why this song randomly popped into my head? Isn’t it a little early for subliminal messaging of the holiday variety?

Ilove love love love love love 😍.

THAT SOUNDED TERRIBLE!!! THE TENOR SECTION WAS WEAK!!!!

This is my favorite movie ever, just do to the fact that Santa is an actual mood. He's constantly pissed, and you can tell he doesn't want to be there.

*PEEING ON THE SEAT*

Santa Claus: Mmm well, it needs work I have to go!

Why are the sound effects so copressed.

Why did they switch voice actors in the middle of a scene?

It is believed that a line was added late in production and voiced by a different actor

1:18 this is me trying to do anything. I attempt to do it fancily and end up failing

Everyone needs to back off of Santa. He's just trying to get the best out of his elves.

0:14 and a 1 uhh and a 2 uhh and a 3 uhh

0:14 where did that stick come from

Have You’ve Seen He-man

MAJOR GOOF: At 1:09, The Sousaphone makes the noise of a Bassoon.
Also, a few seconds after that, an Xylophone makes the noise of a Glockenspiel

merry Christmas everyone and a happy New year

0:41 So is anyone gonna talk about the elf that clubbed another elf with a doll? The victim didn't really do anything to earn it but he got cold-cocked.

Santa can be a real dick... Just sayin'.

Why weren't you At Elf Practice.

Maybe Santa needs some coal this year... He should've been much more appreciative of that great production!!!

0:54 when PC cry babies start complaining about Rudolf the Red Nose Raindeer being racist

I just love how Santa acts like they're wasting his time 😂😂

Ms. Claus has one job. Poor Santa.

We Are Santa's Elves
Burl Ives
Ho ho ho. 
Ho ho ho. 
We are Santa's elves.
We are Santa's elves, 
Filling Santa's shelves with a toy 
For each girl and boy.
Oh, we are Santa's elves. 
We work hard all day, 
But our work is play. 
Dolls we try out, 
See if they cry out.
We are Santa's elves. 
We've a special job each year. 
We don't like to brag. 
Christmas Eve we always 
Fill Santa's bag.
Santa knows who's good. 
Do the things you should. 
And we bet you, 
He won't forget you.
We are Santa's elves. 
Ho ho ho. Ho ho ho. 
We are Santa's elves. 
Ho Ho!
 Like if you like it the song

"Well, it needs work; I have to go."

Literally my favorite moment in any Christmas movie ever.

That sounded terrible! The tenner section was weak!

Kyle Keefe It’s spelled “Tenor” just to let you know.
“it wasn’t our fault boss! Hermit didn’t show up!”

I'm doing this at school for our Christmas program

Remastered, Restored, and bought by Felonious Gru’s Movie Studio: Universal Pictures.

0:40
MORE PEOPLE NEED TO NOTICE THIS MOMENT

Not a cellphone in sight. Just people living in the moment.

When Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer appears on TV, they take out most of the song

YOU need work, Santa. Stop projecting your own inadequacies and GO GET FAT!

Santa is an asshole.....lmfao ...needs work gotta go.....lol

0:40 why am i rolling off my butt when that elf clocked the other elf with a doll?!?

Never gets old

Rudolph the red nosed reindeer has always been one of my favorite Christmas memories! 😍

Elf practice? No wonder there's so many toys on the Island of Misfit Toys.

Santa was so rude to in this movie lol

A CLASSIC!!!! Such a GREAT SONG and CHRISTMAS MOVIE!!!!!

this is our elf song at school 😑

That voice change tho😂

Brynn Meyers It is believed that the line was added late in production and voiced by a different actor.

Awesome video

What does papa know. Its beautiful. You keep it just the way it was. Papa? Papa!

0:56 Santa's reaction to flat earthers

1:08 Lmao
