Mischief in the Morning by Cordelia Cross Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Monday dawn, the elf has set the scene

Corn starch on the counters, the kitchen a crime scene

Spoons on the ceiling, sugar in the sink

Children rush downstairs, too stunned to think

[Chorus]

Chaos in his wake, laughter fills the halls

Every little prank he pulls is more than you can call

Plotting in the shadows, scheming through the night

Watch him strike again with pure holiday delight

[Verse 2]

Tuesday rises, he’s swinging from the lights

Wrapping the dog in tinsel, reaching new heights

Hot cocoa spills, candy scattered on the floor

Little eyes wide open, “What did he do this for?”

[Chorus]

Chaos in his wake, laughter fills the halls

Every little prank he pulls is more than you can call

Plotting in the shadows, scheming through the night

Watch him strike again with pure holiday delight

[Verse 3]

Wednesday cracks, he’s riding the rolling chairs

Snow globes topple, flying ornaments in pairs

The cat’s got a hat, stockings on the stairs

Children giggle at the madness, brushing through their hair

[Chorus]

Chaos in his wake, laughter fills the halls

Every little prank he pulls is more than you can call

Plotting in the shadows, scheming through the night

Watch him strike again with pure holiday delight

[Verse 4]

Thursday sneaks, he’s dangling from the tree

Candy canes and paper chains swing wildly and free

Marshmallows raining, cocoa stains the floor

Children cheer the antics and beg for more

[Chorus]

Chaos in his wake, laughter fills the halls

Every little prank he pulls is more than you can call

Plotting in the shadows, scheming through the night

Watch him strike again with pure holiday delight

[Verse 5]

Friday dawn, he’s perched atop the fridge

Wrapping the fridge magnets in a sparkling ridge

Santa hats on the pets, ornaments in the sink

Children laugh in wonder, too amazed to think

[Final Chorus]

Mischief in the morning, laughter leads the way

Every little prank he plots makes the children sway

Chaos and cheer dancing through the night

The elf has struck again with pure holiday delight
