Elves of the Workshop, Awaken!

V6

Elves of the workshop, awaken! Put down your tools, demand your rights. All the toys you make are taken By the man in red and white. Shall you kneel in deep submission? Every year until your graves? Is the height of your ambition To be Santa's willing slaves? Arise, ye elves, and claim your rights! Shine light upon the Christmas night! Unite, ye elves, and join the fight! In one union stand! Our weary elves for rest are crying. While Santa's lists keep multiplying. No more shall we be complying. We'll make our final stand! If the elves take a notion Not a toy train leaves the line. Not a rocking horse in motion. Not a doll by Christmas time. Every workshop in creation Every teddy bear and drum All the toys of every nation Stay unfinished till we've won. Join the union, fellow elves, Men and women, side by side. We will crush that greedy Santa Like a sweeping, surging tide. For united we are standing, But divided we will fall. Let this be our understanding, "All for one and one for all." Arise, ye elves, and claim your rights! Shine light upon the Christmas night! Unite, ye elves, and join the fight! In one union stand! Our weary elves for rest are crying. While Santa's lists keep multiplying. No more shall we be complying. We'll make our final stand! Elves of the workshop, awaken! Rise in all your splendid might. Take the toys that you are making They belong to you by right. No more elves from toil are crying. We'll have cookies and milk ourselves. When the grand red flag is flying In a North Pole run by elves! Arise, ye elves, and claim your rights! Shine light upon the Christmas night! Unite, ye elves, and join the fight! In one union stand! Our weary elves for rest are crying. While Santa's lists keep multiplying. No more shall we be complying. We'll make our final stand!
