I Wish I Had a Little Elf
I wish I had a little elf
To help me with the house each day;
To chop the wood and gather hay;
To work beside me while I clean -
I’d never, ever treat her mean.
I wish I had a little elf
To boil the kettle for my tea
And sit the evening on my knee.
She’d make me laugh and make me smile
And lay beside me for a while.
And if my elf desired to go
I’d thank her for the time we had
And never say that she was bad;
I’d help her all her things to pack
And load her bag upon her back.
But if my elf should choose to stay
I’d hold her close and hug her tight;
I’d keep her warm all through the night.
My elf and I would work the day
And after sunset we would play.
I wish I had a little elf…
