Elf: The Musical (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

[Emily, spoken]
So... in the spirit of Chrismas, what do you want for Christmas?
[Michael, spoken]
I don't know, I only know what I don't want for Christmas
(Sung)
I don't want a check that's made out to cash
Or a corporate regift from some secret stash
I'd like a day with my dad
[Emily]
Just a day?
[Michael]
Make that two
If you can do that Santa
I'll believe in you
[Emily]
I don't want a trip to some hip salon
Or a trendy perfume I'll never put on
I'd like to feel that he cares
[Michael]
Even if that's not true
[Both]
If you can do that Santa
I'll believe in you
Even though it's been years since you've heard from me
I thought it was worth a shot
If it's true that you're magic, I guarantee
We could use all the magic you've got
[Michael]
I could get you some cookies if that's what it takes
I've heard stories and I know the deal
[Both]
You just slide down the chimney
And fix our mistakes
Now if only I thought you were real
[Michael]
If you were real
[Emily]
I guess that's our list
Our letter is done
[Michael]
Is it really a list
If it adds up to one?
[Both]
Make him part of our lives
Not just passing through
If you can do that Santa
I'll believe in you
Yes, if you do that, Santa
I'll believe in you
So good luck Santa
Here's hoping you come through
[Emily]
Signed, Emily
[Michael]
And Michael, too
