Filling Santa’S Magic Bag

Written By Daryn Wright
V1
Every morning it’s the same routine …
Alarm clock is waking me at four …
Hot cup of coffee stirred with a candy cane …
Sugar pie then out the door
Making my way through the traffic jam …
With thousands of elves heading to Santa’s shop …
Where we all make toys on the assembly line, …
And the work it never stops

CH
Slap on a set of tires make the noise “vroom, vroom”
… Send the car rolling across the room …
Grab a hammer, whack a nail, make a tug boat …
Throw it in the tub see if it floats
Stand the doll, brush the hair, put it in the box …
Tie a golden ribbon in a knot …
Every task is different but the goal’s the same …
Filling Santa’s magic bag

V2
Steam-whistle toot-toots for the shift change …
I’ll finish this toy before I go …
Then skip rope, dance a jig, sing a Christmas song …
As I’m heading for the door
These twelve hour shifts seven days a week …
Don’t leave a lot of time for elf things …
But it’s what I love and all I live for,
… And the only thing I dream

CH
Slap on a set of tires make the noise “vroom, vroom”
… Send the car rolling across the room …
Grab a hammer, whack a nail, make a tug boat …
Throw it in the tub see if it floats
Stand the doll, brush the hair, put it in the box …
Tie a golden ribbon in a knot …
Every task is different but the goal’s the same …
Filling Santa’s magic bag
