LYRICS
\nThis is God to Earth.
\nCome in Earth.<\/p>\n
Q: What do you want to be when you grow up?
\nA: When I grow up I want to be an elf.
\n[the Earthlings sing]
\nWhen I grow up I want to be an elf
\nNot all wrapped up in myself
\nNot all tied-up in myself
\nRather make a toy for every girl and boy
\nI’d rather bring that Christmas Joy, enjoy
\nWhen I grow up<\/p>\n
When I grow up, I want to be an elf<\/p>\n
Not that stooge for the Scrooge
\nNot the snitch for the Grinch
\nWhen I grow up<\/p>\n
When I grow up, I want to be an elf<\/p>\n
What do you want to be when you grow up
\nDo you want to be something? Stand up
\nWhat do you want to be when you grow up
\nSomething stand up or throw-up
\nA toy for every girl and boy
\nOr hurl for every boy and girl
\nWhat do you want to be when you grow up?<\/p>\n

\nHermey: [sadly] I just don’t like to make toys.
\nHead Elf: Oh, well, if that’s all… What? You don’t like to make toys?
\nHermey: [sadly again] Nnno.
\nHead Elf: [to the other elves] Hermey doesn’t like to make toys!
\nElves: [whispering to each other, then chorusing to Hermey] Hermey doesn’t like to make toys. Shame on him!
\nHead Elf: Do you mind telling me what you do want to do?
\nHermey: Well, sir, someday, I’d like to be a… a dentist.
\nHead Elf: A – dentist? <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
