4x GRAMMY-nominated artist Crowder honors the North Pole’s working class with a brand new video for “The Elf Song.” Serving as a much-needed tribute to our tiniest holiday heroes, the visual for the hilarious track finds Crowder and his band jamming in a winter wonderland, while fighting for the rights of Santa’s pointy-eared helpers.
This is just one of several festive originals that appear on Crowder’s 14-track holiday album, ‘Milk & Cookies: A Merry Crowder Christmas’ (out 10.21 via sixstepsrecords/Capitol CMG), joining re-imagined classics and creative collaborations with artists including Country Music Hall of Famer Ricky Skaggs and rapper NF’s longtime producer/collaborator, Tommee Profitt.
Lyrics:
Every day is a grind
Them elves working six-day weeks no raise in sight
Santa only pay ‘em cookies when they working that overtime
Gotta make that quota, can’t do it in a 9 to 5
That ain’t right
Let’s talk about fairness
Elf awareness
This is the elf song
Sitting on the shelf song
Working with them itty bitty pointy toed shoes on
I blame Santa Claus
And his North Pole operation
Ain’t a good look paying candy cane wages
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Give ‘em some
Put your hands up for the elves
This is the elf song
They only stand two feet tall
Or maybe three, maybe four, but the point is elves are small
Still make enough toys for a million shopping malls
Size don’t matter, even Santa can’t do it all
Elves are the bomb
This is the elf song
Giving them the credit song
Working with them itty bitty pointy toed shoes on
I love Santa Claus
And his North Pole operation
But it ain’t a good look paying M&M wages
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Give ‘em some
Put your hands up for the elves
This is the elf song
This is the elf song
Let’s talk about fairness
Elf awareness
This is the elf song
Elfin’ every day song
Dancing with them itty bitty pointy toed shoes on
High five Santa Claus
And his North Pole operation
Word on the street is the elves got raises
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Give ‘em some
Put your hands up for the elves
This is the elf song
