Tipp, tipp, tapp.  


Look, the elves are coming out of their holes,
out of their holes.
They listen, look around, going on tippitoes,
going on tippitoes.
Tipp tapp . . . . 

Kind people have left delicious food,
delicious food,
Standing on the table for a host of elves,
host of elves.
Tipp tapp . . . . 

How they smile, jump up to the dishes,
up to the dishes,
Whisper and rustle: The Christmas food is good,
food is good
Tipp tapp . . . . 

Porridge and ham, little bits of apple,
bits of apple.
How lovely it tastes, little Elf,
little Elf.
Tipp tapp . . . . 

Now for games! Happy laughter rings out,
laughter rings out.
Around the Christmas tree the crowd cheerfully dances,
cheerfully dances.
Tipp tapp . . . . 

It's getting late. Soon the kind elves,
the kind elves
Quickly and prettily put everything in place,
everything in place.
Tipp tapp . . . . 

Then once more into the quiet holes,
quiet holes,
The elves sweetly tippitoe,
sweetly tippitoe.
Tipp tapp . . . .
