lyrics
Just an emo elf, walking down the street
Head held low, he's looking beat
He's got a dead-end job but he's gotta eat
It's Christmas time but he's feeling the heat
But the 25th is getting close
and the hottest toy's artificial toes
The supplier's low on silicone
and the emo elf just wants to go home
Gmail inbox, what does he see?
"Sign up for Uber, TurboTax is free."
He starts to thinking, "Maybe that's for me."
Next thing he knows, he's filling out the form.
He's never felt this free before
Make your own hours, drive when you're bored
Consumer transportation, well, the future's here
the dividends should scale for 20 years
You should invest in tech so they can innovate
Give them a Christmas gift before it gets too late
Emo Elf, driving down the street
Things are looking up, he's got a new routine
He had a 9 til 5, now it's a 10 til 3
Spreading Christmas cheer through his smartphone screen
Emo Elf.
