THE CHARMIN’ELF
Lyrics: Mara Campobasso
Music: Nicola Cicerale, Giovanni Mastrangelo

As I was going home on a lonely winter night
Silence was broken by some strangers passing by
They tried to entice me with jewels made of gold
But soon I realized what they wanted was my soul.
The night was dark and the wind blew strong
Though I could see a sparkling in the fog.

I was so scared and I began to run
The hunters were chasing me, trying to put me down
I had no place to go, nowhere to escape
Then in the forest I saw that gleam again.
The night was dark and the wind slapped my face
But the light told me I was no more in disgrace.

And now my dear friend if you wonder 'bout that light
I'll tell you 'twas a fairy who came and save my mind
And as for the strangers they just fell into void
Like anyone who thinks souls can be sold.
If the night is scary and the wind blows cold
I'll dance with the fairies and sing aloud my song.
