Elf On The Shelf Songs
The songs in the Elf On The Shelf movies are so cute – they’re really cheerful and the messages are all very sweet. I loved watching these movies on TV so I wanted to make a playlist here of all my favorite elf on the shelf music videos. My kids and I love watching them together! The songs are super catchy and the lyrics are clever.
I hope you enjoy watching and listening to these Elf On The Shelf movie songs. If you want to sing along, you can see the elf on the shelf song lyrics in most of these videos, they are included as subtitles to sing along to!

Songs From Elf (the movie)
Elf (the one with Will Farrell) is one of those Christmas movies we have to watch every single year. It’s one of those movies that the whole family can enjoy.
Elf – Baby It’s Cold Outside
I love listening to this version of Baby It’s Cold Outside, sung by Zooey Deschanel and Will Ferrel.
I’m In A Store And I’m Singing
This isn’t exactly a full song, but it’s a pretty great scene!
Zooey Deschanel Sings in Elf
Don’t you think Zooey’s voice is beautiful? In this movie she also got the chance to sing with the late Leon Redbone, who voiced the character of Leon the snowman in the film.
Elf Songs From Rudolf The Red Nosed Reindeer
This movie was a classic for many kids who grew up in the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and now. It features many sweet songs about Santa’s elves, Christmas, and of course the reindeer!
We Are Santa’s Elves
Hermey Wants To Be A Dentist
Other Elf Songs
Christmas elves have been a popular character in European and especially Nordic folklore, probably since pre-Christian days. Below you’ll find some traditional songs about elves from Europe as well as some funny elf on the shelf songs made by fans.
Elf On The Shelf Rap Song
Impress your friends by memorizing all the lyrics to this cool elf rap song.
Charity Hitchcock – Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
Charity Hitchcock was actually singing this high-pitched version of the old Christmas classic pop tune, Santa Claus Is Coming To Town. Also, her Elf costume is adorable!
Charity Hitchcock – I Made A Tree
Charity busts the elf costume out once again to bring us another high-pitched Elf parody – and more elf shenanigans!
Tomtarnas julnatt (Tonttujen Jouluyö)
Originally published in 1898 for Swedish Children’s magazine Jultomten (Christmas Elves). It describes the activities of Christmas elves on Christmas eve. It became a popular song for small schoolchildren in Sweden and Finland because the chorus is simple and easy for kids to remember.
Elves have been a part of Christmas (and other) folklore in Nordic countries for generations – you can read more about it here.
Swedish Lyrics:
Composer: Vilhelm Sefve Lyrics: Alfred Smedberg
Midnatt råder,
tyst det är i husen,
tyst i husen.
Alla sover,
släckta äro ljusen,
äro ljusen.
Se, då krypa
tomtar upp ur vrårna
upp ur vrårna,
lyssna, speja,
trippa fram på tårna,
fram på tårna.
Snälla folket
låtit maten rara,
maten rara,
stå på bordet
åt en tomteskara,
tomteskara.
Hur de mysa,
hoppa upp bland faten,
upp bland faten,
tissla, tassla¹,
“God är julematen,
julematen!”
Gröt och skinka,
lilla äppelbiten,
äppelbiten,
tänk så rart
det smakar Nisse² liten,
Nisse² liten.
Nu till lekar!³
Glada skratten klingar,
skratten klingar,
runt om granen³
skaran muntert svingar,
muntert svingar.
Natten lider.
Snart de tomtar snälla,
tomtar snälla,
kvick och näpet
allt i ordning ställa,
ordning ställa.
Sedan åter
in i tysta vrårna,
tysta vrårna,
tomteskaran
tassar lätt på tårna,
lätt på tårna.
English Translation:
Midnight reigns,
It’s quiet in the houses,
Quiet in the houses.
Everyone sleeps,
The candles are put out,
Candles put out.
Look, there comes
The gnomes out from the corners,
From the corners,
List’ning, watching,
Sneaking on their toes,
On their toes.
The nice people
Have left the sweet food,
The sweet food,
On the table
For a band of gnomes,
Band of gnomes.
How they frolic,
Skipping between dishes,
Between dishes,
Whisper, murmur¹
“It’s good, the Christmas food,
Christmas food.”
Porridge, ham,
The little piece of apple,
Piece of apple,
Ah how sweet
It tastes for little Gnomie²,
Little Gnomie².
Now the games!³
Happy laughter sounding,
Laughter sounding,
‘Round the tree³
The gang merrily swings,
Merrily swings.
Night is ending.
Soon the friendly gnomes,
Friendly gnomes,
Quickly, neatly,
Putting all in order,
All in order.
Then, back
Into the quiet corners,
Quiet corners,
The gang of gnomes
Sneak on their toes,
On their toes.
Here is the Finnish version, followed by the lyrics in Finnish and auto-translated to English.
Soihdut sammuu, kaikki väki nukkuu, väki nukkuu.
Öitten varjoon talon touhu hukkuu, touhu hukkuu.
Tip-tap, tip-tap, tipe, tipe, tip-tap, tip, tip, tap.
Tonttujoukko silloin varpahillaan, varpahillaan,
varovasti hiipii alta sillan, alta sillan.
Tip-tap …
Jouluruokaa tarjoo kunnon väki, kunnon väki.
Raoistansa sen jo tonttu näki, tonttu näki.
Tip-tap …
Pöydän päälle veittikaiset rientää, veitikkaiset,
syövät paistia ja juovat lientä, juovat lientä.
Tip-tap …
Herkkua on siinä monenlaista, monenlaista.
Kuiske kuuluu: ”Miltä ruoka maistaa, ruoka maistaa?”
Tip-tap …
Sitten leikitellään kuusen alla, kuusen alla,
kunnes päivä koittaa taivahalla, taivahalla.
Tip-tap …
Hiljaa hiipii joukko varpahillaan, varpahillaan,
kotikoloihinsa alle sillan, alle sillan.
Tip-tap …
