   with Michael Buble
  
  I'm a man of reason, and they say "'Tis the season to be jolly"
  But it's folly when you volley for position
  
  Never in existence has there been such a resistance
  To ideas meant to free us
  If you could see us, then you'd listen
  
  Toiling through the ages, making toys on garnished wages
  There's no union
  We're only through when we outdo the competition
  
  I make toys, but I've got aspirations
  Make some noise
  Use your imagination
  Girls and boys, before you wish for what you wish for
  There's a list for who's been
  Naughty or nice, but consider the price to an elf
  
  A full indentured servitude can reflect on one's attitude
  But that silly red hat just makes the fat man look outrageous
  
  Absurd though it may seem, you know, I've heard there's even been illegal doping
  And though we're coping, I just hope it's not contagious
  
  You try to start a movement, and you think you see improvement
  But when thrown into the moment, we just don't seem so courageous
  
  I make toys, but I've got aspirations
  Make some noise
  Use your imagination
  Girls and boys, before you wish for what you wish for
  There's a list for who's been
  Naughty or nice, but consider the price to an elf
  
  You look at yourself
  You're an elf
  And the shelf is just filled with disappointing memories
  Trends come and go, and your friends wanna know why you aren't just happy making crappy little gizmos
  Every kid knows they'll just throw this stuff away
  
  We're used to repetition, so we drew up a petition
  We, the undersigned, feel undermined
  Let's redefine "employment"
  
  We know that we've got leverage, so we'll hand the fat man a beverage
  And sit back while we attack the utter lack of our enjoyment
  
  It may be tough to swallow, but our threats are far from hollow
  He may thunder, but if he blunders, he may wonder where the toys went
  
  I make toys, but I've got aspirations
  Make some noise
  Use your imagination
  Girls and boys, before you wish for what you wish for
  There's a list for who's been
  Naughty or nice, but consider the price
  Naughty or nice, but consider the price
  Naughty or nice, but consider the price to an elf
