Elvish Bugaolo
by Jonathan Calderon
Edison Elementary

We're two little elves and we’re here to say,
We make a lot of shoes in the elvish way.
The shoemaker and his wife keep wondering how
Each pair of shoes keeps poppin’ up wow!

Big shoes, little shoes, shiny shoes too,
Doing the funky Elvish bugaloo.

Sometimes we make black ones
Sometimes we make blue ones too.
Working with all our might,
So that we can give 'em a fright!

White shoes, black shoes, brown ones too,
Doing the funky Elvish bugaloo.

And then one lonely night as we worked at our task
We had a funny feeling we'd been spied on by a mask.
But without a quiver we kept working without a shiver.
Until at last we had something ready for deliver.

Big shoes, little shoes, shiny shoes too,
Doing the funky Elvish bugaloo.

One lucky day when we arrived at work not play
Much to our gay we found packages in our way.
We ripped them opened and put our new clothes on.
And begin to dance the Irish Polka John.

Working elves, dancing elves, happy elves too,
Doing the funky Elvish bugaloo.

Off into the forest we danced and sang the chorus
That was the last time we worked for good old Horus.
Never work nor poor happy forever more,
We sang and shouted out the Shoemaker’s door.

Working elves, dancing elves, happy elves too,
Doing the funky Elvish bugaloo.

Mushroom in the Rain
(Football Goodbye)
by H. Nolan

The shoemaker was kind
With so much on his mind
Tap-snip, and stitch they did
Elves then went and hid
The shoemaker was poor
Hard times they did endure
Tap-snip, and stitch they did
Elves then went and hid
As soon as evening fell
He'd cut the leather well
Tap-snip, and stitch they did
Elves then went and hid
Many shoes they sold
They made a lot of gold
Tap-snip, and stitch they did
Elves then went and hid
The wife made them some clothes
From little head to toes
Tap-snip, and stitch they did
Elves then went and hid
On Christmas Eve they rose
And wore their fancy clothes
Happy, dancing little men
Were never seen again
