Right away you knew that Ralph was
different
He wasn’t like any other elf
And we think that it is safe to tell you
Ralph was in a class all by himself
All the other elves would wear a green suit
Ralph would wear a suit that was bright red
Most his friends were clean-shaven with short hair
Long hair and a beard sprung from Ralph’s head
But Ralph was the kind of guy that was everybody’s friend
And he didn’t mind the fact that every now and then
They’d call him Ralph the weirdo elf
When the elves weren’t working in the toyshop
They would be working deep underground
There were many mines up at the North Pole
Where the things for making toys were found
Ralph always worked apart from the others
He just felt more comfortable that way
But of all the elves he worked the hardest
Helping to put things in Santa’s sleigh
But Ralph was the kind of guy that was everybody’s friend
And he didn’t mind the fact that every now and then
They’d call him Ralph the zero elf
Then one day there happened something
dreadful
That would change the North Pole for all time
Without warning there was an explosion
When the elves were all down in the mines
Quick as a flash Ralph sprung into action
Straining hard to hold the ceiling high
He didn’t move ‘til everyone got out
Then he smiled and told his friends goodbye
So like the man whose birthday
We celebrate each year
He sacrificed himself to save them all
He was the only person
To put aside his fear
And answer that heroic final call
Now things at the North Pole are quite
different
Santa grew a beard and changed his clothes
As a tribute their fallen comrade
And he makes sure everybody knows
The tale of the brave elf
That died to save his friends
He tells the story every single year
And after he is finished
The elves all lead a cheer
For the man they all that they all know as
Ralph the hero elf |
