God to Earth. Come in Earth.

LYRICS
This is God to Earth.
Come in Earth.

Q: What do you want to be when you grow up?
A: When I grow up I want to be an elf.
[the Earthlings sing]
When I grow up I want to be an elf
Not all wrapped up in myself
Not all tied-up in myself
Rather make a toy for every girl and boy
I’d rather bring that Christmas Joy, enjoy
When I grow up

When I grow up, I want to be an elf

Not that stooge for the Scrooge
Not the snitch for the Grinch
When I grow up

When I grow up, I want to be an elf

What do you want to be when you grow up
Do you want to be something? Stand up
What do you want to be when you grow up
Something stand up or throw-up
A toy for every girl and boy
Or hurl for every boy and girl
What do you want to be when you grow up?

Inspired by Hermey the Elf in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

Head Elf: Hermey! Aren’t you finished painting that yet? There’s a pile-up a mile wide behind you! What’s eatin’ ya, boy?
Hermey: Not happy with my work, I guess.
Head Elf: What?
Hermey: [sadly] I just don’t like to make toys.
Head Elf: Oh, well, if that’s all… What? You don’t like to make toys?
Hermey: [sadly again] Nnno.
Head Elf: [to the other elves] Hermey doesn’t like to make toys!
Elves: [whispering to each other, then chorusing to Hermey] Hermey doesn’t like to make toys. Shame on him!
Head Elf: Do you mind telling me what you do want to do?
Hermey: Well, sir, someday, I’d like to be a… a dentist.
Head Elf: A – dentist?
