The Elves they work all through the year

with union benefits.

When sick they don't need to come in

they can rest 'til they are fit.

The elderly don't need to work

they write and act in plays.

You should see what they did

for Huxley's novel "Antic Hay."

And if you want to party with them

please remember this:

They're not at all like little kids

they like to drink and kiss.

Free love came from the elves,

and not from some sixties guru.

When practicing free love

remember to always love you.

They say the magic of the elves

is something that you lose.

When you grow up do you lose it?

Is this what you would choose?

When I grow up I think I would

prefer to keep it all.

All magic and mystery found

I think I'd have a ball.
