[Verse]
F G C Am Dm
I'm a man of reason, and they say "'Tis the season to be jolly"
G C C7
But it's folly when you volley for position
F G C Am
Never in existence has there been such a resistance
Dm G
To ideas meant to free us
C C7
If you could see us, then you'd listen
F G C Am
Toiling through the ages, making toys on garnished wages
Dm
There's no union
G C C7
We're only through when we out do the competition

[Chorus]
F G C C7
I make toys, but I've got aspirations
F G C
Make some noise
C7
Use your imagination
F G C C7 Dm
Girls and boys, before you wish for what you wish for
G
There's a list for who's been
Dm C F G C
Naughty or nice, but consider the price to an elf
