PEEKIN?

(VERSE ONE) ONCE THERE WAS A HELPER
AND ?PEEKIN?? WAS HIS NAME
HE COULDN?T KEEP HIS FINGERS OFF THE GIFTS
TO HIM IT WAS JUST A GAME
IF THERE WERE ANY PROBLEMS,
PEEKIN? WOULD GET BLAMED
BUT, HE WAS SANTA?S LITTLE FAVORITE
THOUGH HE COULD NOT BE TAMED

(CHORUS) OH, PEEKIN?, PEEKIN? THE LITTLEST ELF OF ALL
THE OTHERS ELVES WOULD MAKE FUN OF HIM
CAUSE HE LOOKED JUST LIKE A DOLL
OH, PEEKIN?, PEEKIN? HAD ROSY LITTLE CHEEKS
AND HE PRETENDED HE WAS ONLY
PLAYIN? HIDE AND SEEK


(VERSE TWO) EVERYONE WAS CERTAIN
THAT TROUBLE?D COME SOME DAY
CAUSE HE?D SNEAK AROUND THE WORKSHOP
IN THE MOST MISCHEVIOUS WAY
AND WHEN THERE WAS WORK TO DO
THE OTHER ELVES WOULD SAY
?THE ONLY THING THAT LITTLE PEEKIN? DOES
IS RUN AROUND AND PLAY?

(CHORUS)

(BRIDGE) ONE DAY THE OTHER ELVES THOUGHT
THEY?D PLAY A TRICK ON HIM
SO THEY WRAPPED HIM LIKE A PRESENT
AND THEY PUT HIM IN A BIN
?NOW HE?LL GET DELIVERED
TO A KID NAMED ?TIM??
AND THEY?LL NEVER EVER HAVE TO SEE
THAT LITTLE ELF AGAIN

(CHORUS)

(VERSE THREE) WHILE SANTA MADE HIS ROUNDS
THAT STARRY CHRISTMAS NIGHT
LITTLE PEEKIN? POPPED OUT OF HIS BAG
AND GAVE HIM SUCH A FRIGHT
WELL, SANTA FELT SO BAD BECAUSE
OF WHAT THE ELVES HAD DONE
THAT PEEKIN?S NOW HIS HELPER
ON EVERY CHRISTMAS RUN
AND RIGHT UP TILL THIS VERY DAY? HE STILL PEEKS!
