Words and Music by Mark Mathes
VERSE :
Whenever we begin our day,
we go to our work stations
And know that soon
there’ll be a situation
Because a certain Elf, name Jingle,
will skip in, jump or hop
And slow production down
Here in the Toyshop
He is a gentle soul I’d say,
never murmurs, never whines
He’s distracted, maybe careless
Or extremely colorblind
You can count on him
for a great big hug
He’s a loving happy elf
He is shallow, he has depth,
He’s like the continental shelf.
I’d like to say a word in his behalf
Jingle makes me laugh
CHORUS:
How can you describe a friend like Jingle
Have you ever met a jollier soul
What’s a valid narrative for Jingle
Bumbling, Baffling, Annoying, hugging toad
There’s not a better friend than our friend Jingle
But how do you grasp whatever’s on his mind
What’s a simple word the means Jingle
A blithering, shimmering, flittering ball of twine
Many a thing you know you’d like to tell him
Many a thing he ought to understand
But how do you help an elf like Jingle
How do you keep a snowflake in your hand
BRIDGE:
Many toys that he makes
Wind up in the pile
He always gets things tangled
Creates in his “own style”
You show Him how to do it
Time and time again
How can someone in their right mind
Help someone like him
He’s unpredictable like weather
Like a frozen penquin feather
He’s a angel
He’s a terror
He’s an elf
CHORUS:
How can you describe a friend like Jingle
Have you ever met a jollier soul
What’s a valid narrative for Jingle
Bumbling, Baffling, Annoying, hugging toad
There’s not a better friend than our friend Jingle
But how do you grasp whatever’s on his mind
What’s a simple word the means Jingle
A blithering, shimmering, flittering ball of twine
Manny a thing you know you’d like to tell him
Many a thing he ought to understand
But how do you help an elf like Jingle
How do you keep a snowflake in your hand
