Intro
Invites Went Out The Dates Been Locked In Tight
Ten Dollar Limit But Nobody Plays It Right
We All Bring Something Awful Or A Trinket We Regret
A Relic From The Closet Or The Weirdest Thing You've Met
There's A Singing Fish On A Plaque And A Shirt That's Size Three
A Half Burned Candle Jar For All The World To See
We Wrap Them Up So Fancy With Ribbons Bows And Flair
Pretending This Disaster Brings Some Holiday Cheer To Share
Verse 1
We Circle Round The Presents The Numbers Have Been Drawn
That Anxious Buzzing Feeling It Lingers On And On
The Host Recites The Rules You Can Open Or You Steal
And That's When Christmas Chaos Becomes A Holiday Ordeal
Pre-Chorus
White Elephant White Elephant The Thieving Holiday
We Sanctify The Stealing In A Jolly Sort Of Way
White Elephant White Elephant A Festive Petty Crime
If You Love It Better Guard It You're Just Buying Time
Chorus
Number One Unwraps A Mug It Says Worlds Best Boss
Number Two Gets A Movie Flop It's Truly At A Loss
Then Gasp A Sudden Shimmer A Treasure Gleams In Sight
A Gift Card Maybe Fancy Wine Pure Christmas Delight
They Clutch It Like Salvation Their Joy Cannot Be Faked
But Just When They Exhale It's Stolen Cleanly Taken
Verse 2
We Circle Round The Presents The Numbers Have Been Drawn
That Anxious Buzzing Feeling It Lingers On And On
The Host Repeats The Rules You Can Open Or You Steal
And That's When Merry Mischief Becomes The Christmas Deal
Pre-Chorus
White Elephant White Elephant The Thieving Holiday
We Justify The Taking In A Truly Festive Way
White Elephant White Elephant A Gloriously Crooked Time
If You Love It Someone's Grabbing It's The Gift Exchange Crime
Bridge
It's The Only Day Each Year You Can Look A Friend In The Eye
And Say That's Mine Now Merry Christmas Goodbye
A Carnival Of Chaos A Jungle Made Of Bows
Where Even Grandma's Plotting How The Swapping Really Goes
Until The Next One Steals It Back
Final Chorus
White Elephant White Elephant The Thieving Holiday
We Celebrate The Stealing In A Cheerful Twisted Way
White Elephant White Elephant The Merriest Of Crimes
If You Want It You Will Lose It It's Tradition Every Time
Outro
You Can't Keep It No You Can Keep It
It's Been Frozen Stolen Claimed
Happy Stealing Christmas Ho Ho Ho
