The Story of Buddy the Elf Lyrics
The Story of Buddy the Elf
[BUDDY]
Page one:
Fresh out of toys,
Santa makes his way back,
When he hears a small noise
From inside of his pack.
A sound that’s not unlike a baby’s cry—
It’s enough to leave the jolly guy perplexed.
[GREENWAY]
And?
[WALTER]
And?
[BUDDY]
And?
[DEB, CHADWICK & MATTHEWS]
And?
[MICHAEL]
Come on, Buddy, what comes next?!
[GREENWAY]
A baby inside Santa’s bag? It’s not a bad start.
[WALTER]
He’s buying it! Keep going!
[BUDDY]
Page two:
Back from his ride,
Santa gathers his elves.
[MICHAEL]
He gathers his elves.
[BUDDY]
And they quickly decide
They'll raise the baby themselves.
The North Pole isn’t made for humans, though,
And soon the phony elf begins to grow so tall.
[GREENWAY]
He?
[DEB, CHADWICK & MATTHEWS]
He?
[BUDDY]
He…
[WALTER]
Learns he’s human after all!
[BUDDY]
Right!
[MICHAEL]
Good one, Dad!
[BUDDY & MICHAEL]
It’s the story of Buddy the Elf.
It’s the story of Buddy the Elf.
[BUDDY]
It’s kind of brilliant if I say so myself.
[BUDDY & MICHAEL]
It’s the story of Buddy the Elf!
[GREENWAY]
So the baby finds out he’s human! Then what?
[BUDDY]
Well, then he goes to New York, and, uh, it gets complicated, see...
[WALTER]
Page three:
His father’s at work
When Buddy walks through the door.
His dad is sort of a jerk,
And Buddy’s banned from the floor.
[BUDDY]
His father’s not prepared to be a dad
To a son he never knew he had.
[WALTER]
But soon he’ll be forced to change his tune.
[BUDDY & MICHAEL]
He’ll be forced to change his tune!
[WALTER]
It’s the story of...
[WALTER, BUDDY & MICHAEL]
Buddy the Elf!
[WALTER]
It’s the story of...
[WALTER, BUDDY & MICHAEL]
Buddy the Elf!
It’s the story of—
It’s kind of brilliant if he says so himself.
It’s the story of Buddy the Elf!
[BUDDY]
And maybe Buddy helps his dad
In a setting much like this.
[WALTER]
And maybe his father learns a son
Is something he can’t dismiss.
[BUDDY & WALTER]
They might learn that they need each other
Much more than they know.
[WALTER]
Maybe the point of the story is
It’s never too late to grow.
[BUDDY]
It’s never too late to grow.
[ALL]
It’s the story of Buddy the Elf.
It’s the story of Buddy the Elf.
It’s the story of—
And the books will fly right off the shelf.
It’s the story of Buddy the Elf!
[GREENWAY]
I love it, I love it, I do!
I love it, I love it, I do!
I love that story, love that story, love that story!
[ALL]
He loves that story, loves that story, loves that story!
He loves that story, loves that story, loves that story!
It’s the story of Buddy the Elf.
It’s the story of Buddy the Elf.
It’s the story of—
And the books will fly right off the shelf.
It’s the story of Buddy the Elf.
It’s the story of Buddy the Elf.
It’s the story of—
And the books will fly right off the shelf!
It’s the story of Buddy the Elf!
[GREENWAY]
I love that story, love that story, love that story!
[ALL]
That’s the story of Buddy the Elf!
