O Elfie!

O Elfie! Won’t you sing a merry tune?

A tune as sweet as ever can be

To proclaim God’s reign on Earth?

Tunes, sweet an’ sour an’ savoury,

Blissful, Heavenly and earthly?

Tunes that make one feel as

If in the glowing heavens we lie,

Beside the sparkling vivaciousness

Of the gushing fountains high?

O Elfie! Won’t you sing a joyful melody?

That’ll make one with excitement tingle?

That’ll make the stony silence still,

Or make flowers like bells jingle?

O Elfie! Please do do sing,

For it makes me sway an’ swing,

O Elfie! Do do da sing,

An’ I promise to give

You a precious ring!
