Christmastown by The Original Broadway Company of Elf the Musical Lyrics

[Santa] (spoken)
Let Santa read you a Christmas story. It begins, "Once upon a time, in a little village here, at the North Pole, called Christmastown..."

[Santa] (sung)
You know Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
And Frosty the snowman, too

But did you ever hear
The story of the elf
Who grew, and grew, and grew...

[Elves]
Fa la
Fa la la la la
Fa la la la la

[Buddy]
When you're born a Christmas elf
You wake up every morning
Feeling like a lucky so-and-so
Knowing there are toys to make
And trees that need adorning
Makes you laugh from head to mistletoe

Life is just so Christmas-y
It's hard to grow up callous
Who could look at gingerbread and frown?

And since I love Saint Nick and the Aurora Borealis
It's clear that I belong in Christmastown

I always get
A special glow
When the snow comes falling down

So without a doubt I know
I belong in Christmastown

[Buddy] (spoken)
Good morning everybody! Hi! Hello, sir! And how are you today?

[Elf] (spoken)
Super!

[Buddy]
Being Santa's helper means
That you refuse to settle
Never let your smile be just a grin
I once smiled for six whole months
And won a fancy medal
It's nice to have a place where I fit in

I always get
A special glow
When the snow comes falling down

So without a doubt I know
I belong in Christmastown

[Elves]
Jing-a-ling-a-ling

[Buddy]
I belong

[Elves]
Jing-a-ling-a-ling

[Buddy]
I belong in Christmastown

[Elves]
Jing-a-ling-a-ling
[Buddy]
I belong

[Elves]
He belongs in Christmastown

[Buddy]
And I feel sad for people who
Have to grow up human

I've never met a human
But I can't help assumin'
They'd want to be
Exactly like me!

And have Christmas all year round

[Elves]
Fa la la la la
La la la la la

[Buddy]
I belong

[Elf]
I belong in Christmastown

[Elves]
Fa la la la la

[Buddy]
I belong
I belong in Christmastown

[Buddy] (spoken)
Come on, everybody! Let's make toys!

[Elves]
He always gets
A special glow
When the snow comes falling down

[Buddy]
I always get
A special glow-ow-ow!
I love those falling flakes

[Elves]
So without a doubt we know
He belongs

[Buddy]
I belong

[Elves]
He belongs

[Buddy]
I belong

[Buddy & Elves]
In Christmastown!
