[Intro 1]
[Em][A][D][Bm][Em][A][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]I'm [D]a m[G]an o[Bm]f rea[A]son and they say,
[D]"'Tis the season to [Bm]be jolly[D]"[G]
[D]But it'[Em]s fol[A]ly whe[D]n you
volley for posi[F#]tion[Em]
Never in exist[A]ence has there
[D]been such a resist[Bm]ance
To [Em]ideas meant to [A]free us,
if you could [D]see us, then you'd [F#]listen
[Em]Toiling through the [A]ages,
making [D]toys on garnished [Bm]wages
There's no [Em]uni on,
we're only [A]through when we [D]outdo the competi[F#]tion

[Verse 2]
[Em]I ma[A]ke toy[D]s but I've got aspirations
[Em]Make [A]some [D]noise, use your imagination
[Em]Girls [A]and [D]boys, before you wish
for what you [Em]wish for
There's a list [A]for who's been
[Em]Naughty or [D]nice but con
[A]sider the price to an [D]elf

[Verse 3]
[Em]A full indentured ser[A]vitude can
re[D]flect on [Bm]one's attitude
But that [Em]silly red [Bm]hat j[A]ust makes
the fat [D]man look out[F#]rageous
Ab[Em]surd though it may [A]seem you know
[D]I've heard there's even
[Bm]been [Em]illegal doping
And though we're cop[A]ing,
I just [D]hope it's not conta[F#]gious
[Em]You try to start a move[A]ment,
and you [D]think you see improve[Bm]ment
But when [Em]thrown into the mo[A]ment,
we [D]just don't seem so cour[F#]ageous

[Verse 4]
[Em]I ma[A]ke toy[D]s but I've got aspirations
[Em]Make [A]some [D]noise, use your imagination
[Em]Girls [A]and [D]boys before you wish
for what you [Em]wish for
There's a list [A]for who's been
[Em]Naughty or [D]nice but con
[A]sider the price to an [D]elf

[Verse 5]
You look at your[A]self you're an elf
And [C]the shelf is just filled with
[Bm]disappointing [G]memories
[D]Trends come and go [A]and your
friends wan[D]na know
[C]Why you aren't just [Bm]happy making
[G]crappy [D]little [F#m]gizmos
Every kid [Em]knows they'll just
[A]throw this stuff away
[D]

[Verse 6]
We're [Em]used to repeti[A]tion,
so we [D]drew up a peti[Bm]tion
We the un[Em]dersigned [A]feel undermined,
[D]let's redefine "Em[F#]ployment"
[Em]We know that we've got [A]leverage,
so [D]we'll hand the fat man a [Bm]beverage
And sit back [Em]while we at[A]tack the
utter [D]lack of our enjoy[F#]ment
[Em]It may be tough to [A]swallow,
but our [D]threats are far from [Bm]hollow
He may [Em]thunder but if he [A]blunders,
he may [D]wonder where [F#]the toys went

[Verse 7]
[Em]I ma[A]ke toy[D]s but I've got aspirations
[Em]Make [A]some [D]noise, use your imagination
[Em]Girls [A]and [D]boys, before you wish
for what you [Em]wish for
There's [D]a list f[A]or who's been,
[Em]naughty [D]or nice but con[A]sider the price
And [Em]naughty or [D]nice but con
[A]sider the price
[Em]Naughty or [D]nice but con
[A]sider the price to an [D]elf
