This song, sung by the character of Jovie, was originated on Broadway by Amy Spanger.
He's several hours late The skyline's getting dim While others deck the halls You dream of decking him My My choice in men has always been Pathetic, I suppose The guy who stole my credit cards The guy who tried on my clothes And so a row of self-help books Line my bedroom shelf Well there's one rule those books forgot You never fall in love with an elf His endless talk of Christmastown Will test your every nerve Still, he's kinda cute, I guess Well, if you grade on a curve And though you vowed you'd never sing Just look at yourself You're halfway through a Christmas song Called "Never Fall in Love with an Elf" The holidays will seem bittersweet While you're alone in bed But how can one girl ever compete With a magic fat guy in a flying sled? Go ask a hundred single girls From here to Philadel. . . phia They'll say it's clear as day You're in for sleepless nights If you date a guy Who has a thing for tights Oh, never fall in love Never fall in love Never Fall in Love With an Elf It's as clear as a jinglebell If you are single Well, don't fall in love with an elf
