In the Way (reprise) Lyrics – Elf

[EMILY]
Walter, I've been, uh, very busy the last couple of days. You see, I had to...

Yank a strand out of Buddy's hair,
Then as planned, wait 'til you're not there.
Sneak and find your hair on the sink.

[WALTER]
Someone's been multi-tasking.

[EMILY]
Then I check with my cousin Mel,
He's a tech at Beth Israel.

[WALTER]
Wait a sec, should I call you a shrink?

[EMILY]
No, dear, but thanks for asking.
Melvin checks all the DNA.
It's complex, but he works all day.
This FedEx shows up here when he's done.

[WALTER]
And?

[EMILY]
Walter has an elf for a son!
