There are tiny, little elven sprites
That live inside my walls.
At night they steal outside
And tie my kitten's tail in balls.
By day they make the roofing creak
And cause the pipes to moan
And when I try to call someone,
They disconnect the phone!
The elves are on the loose tonight.
Suburbia beware!
They emptied out my shaving creme
And filled the can with nair.
If you thought elves were sly
Back in the days of arcane lore,
With modern day's technologies
They'll trick you even more!
One night they got up on my shelf
And stole my super glue.
A big drop here, a small one there
Beneath my tennis shoe.
Next morning, I found milk all spilled
Outside the icebox door
And there was kitty, traumatized,
His paws glued to the floor!
Yes, the elves are on the loose tonight.
Suburbia beware!
One night they grabbed my razor.
Now my cat has mohawk hair!
If you thought elves were sly
Back in the days of arcane lore,
With modern day's technologies,
They'll trick you even more!
Now if you have this problem
Then please write and let me know.
I just can't seem to kick them out.
Like houseguests...they won't go!
I sleep with one eye open now
And one foot out of bed.
I haven't seen my cat for days.
He packed his toys and fled!
Oh, the elves are on the loose tonight.
Suburbia beware!
My razor's gone again, oh lord,
I haven't got a prayer (for my hair!)
If you thought elves were sly back in the days of arcane lore
With modern day's technologies
You can't know what's in store.
And I'm headin' for the hotel next door!
During the pandemic, I've been filking online with my parrot, Basil, chirping along from my shoulder. Kanef. suggested that I add Strange Messenger to our repertoire. I hadn't heard it, but when I found you on Bandcamp, I loved it, (and the entire album). And every time I cover Strange Messenger, people are delighted to hear it. Debora VanHeyningen
