K/1 "Groovin' Elf" Concert Resources:

"Groovin' Elf" (Grades K/1):
Choreography Video (Our dance has many changes so just use for audio)
I'm a groovin' Elf,
Dancing with myself.
Bouncing from my toes.
Way up to my nose!

I'm a groovin' Elf,
I don't like the shelf!
I just like to dance.
When it snows I prance.

"Don't Eat a Poinsettia" (Grades K/1):
*The lyrics page sent home has a mistake. The second line is "If you do you betta"
Lyric Video
Don't eat a poinsettia
If you do you betta,
be ready to get a belly ache!

Don't eat a poinsettia,
or you might regretta
that day when you get a tummy quake.

Ay, ay, ay! Ay, ay, ay!
Ay, ay, ay! Ay, ay, ay!
Ay, ay, ay! Ay, ay, ay!
Ay, ay, ay! Ay, ay, ay!

Lovely red and green.
Peaceful and serene.
Looking is a treat,
but it's not to eat.

NO NO NO NO!

And we watch the clock.
The Clock! The Clock!
A tick and a tock.
A tick! A Tock!
This wait seems so wrong.
So wrong! So wrong!
Each day seems so long.
So long! So Long!
Just why is it so?

Christmas day will never
get here I fear!
So.......!

"Let's Build a Gingerbread House" (Grade K):
Lyric Video
Let's build a gingerbread house,
a gingerbread house,
a gingerbread house.
Let's build a gingerbread house,
a gingery gingerbread house.

Let's use lollipops, licorice, chocolate,
and gum drops that are gummy.
Let's use cinnamon, peppermint,
caramel, and frosting that is yummy!

*REPEAT FROM BEGINNING

Let's build a gingerbread house,
a gingerbread house,
a gingerbread house.
Let's build a gingerbread house,
a gingery gingerbread house.

Oh, a gingery gingerbread house.
Oh, a gingery gingerbread house.
Let's knock it down and eat it! YUM! 

"Jolly Old St. Nicholas" (Grade 1):
Jolly old St. Nicholas, Lean your ear this way!
Don’t you tell a single soul, What I’m going to say;
Christmas Eve will soon be here. Now, you dear old man,
Whisper what you’ll bring to me: Tell me if you can.

When the clock is striking twelve, When I'm fast asleep,
Down the chimney with your pack, softly you will creep;
All the stockings you will find Hanging in a row;
Mine will be the shortest one, You'll be sure to know.

Johnny wants a pair of skates, Susy wants a sled;
Nellie wants a story book, one she hasn't read,
As for me, I hardly know, so I'll go to rest.

Choose for me, dear Santa Claus. What you think is best.

"Jingle Bell Parade" (Grade 1):
Lyric Video
Here comes the jingle bell parade!
Here comes the jingle bell parade!
Jingle, jingle down the street.
Jingle, jingle to the beat.
Oh, here comes the jingle bell parade!

Jingle, jingle down the street.
Jingle, jingle to the beat.
Oh, here comes the jingle bell parade!

Oh, here comes the jingle bell parade! Jingle!

"Better Bundle Up" (Grades 2/3):
Choreography Video (our dance has slight changes)
The snow is falling and it's getting cold.
Better bundle up, bundle up.
The frost is nippin' at the end of my nose.
Better bundle up, bundle up.
The wind is blowin' you can hear it whip.
Better bundle up, bundle up.
Time to button up, time to zip.
Better bundle up, bundle up.

CHORUS:
Better bundle up, better bundle up,
better bundle up. BUNDLE UP!
Better bundle up, better bundle up,
better bundle up. BUNDLE UP, UP, UP!
UP, UP, UP!

Well.... the ice is formin’ on the window pane.
Better bundle up, bundle up.
I'm wearing woolies and I cannot complain.
Better bundle up, bundle up.
There'll be no shivering from head to toe.
Better bundle up, bundle up.
I am ready, so let it snow!
Better bundle up, bundle up.

Better bundle up, better bundle up,
better bundle up. BUNDLE UP!
Better bundle up, better bundle up,

"Up on the Housetop" (Grade 2 classes JR, Pearl, Sallade)
Up on the housetop reindeer pause.
Out jumps good old Santa Claus.
Down through the chimney with lots of toys.

Up on the housetop, click, click, click.

Down through the chimney with good Saint Nick!

Jingle bell, jingle bells.

Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh!


"White Christmas" (Grade 3)
SOLO: The sun is shining. The grass is green.
The orange and palm trees sway.
There's never been such a day,
in Beverly Hills, L.A.

ALL: But it's December the 24th,
and I am longing to be up North.

I'm dreaming of a White Christmas,
just like the ones I used to know.
Where the tree tops glisten and children listen,
to hear sleigh bells in the snow.

I'm dreaming of a White Christmas,
with every Christmas card I write:
"May your days be merry and bright!
And may all your Christmas' be white."

Repeat Chorus

"Rock the Holly" (Grade 3)

Rock the holly, rock the ivy,
rock the mistletoe.
Decorate the tree for everyone to see,
oh, rock the ribbons and bows!

Rock the tinsel, rock the garland,
rock the evergreen.
Put it on the walls,
it's time to deck the halls,
oh, rock the Holiday scene!

Rock around the Christmas tree
we'll rock the day away.
Just keep rockin' it will be
a rockin' Holiday!

Verse 1, Verse 2

Put it on the wall
it's time to deck the hall,
oh, rock the Holiday scene.
Rock the Holiday scene.
