The Brownie Song

My love she baked me brownies
To celebrate ferris wheel day
And I dug in with much chagrin
And ate five right away

She’d baked them by the dozens
So there were plenty more
But ne’er would I have left them
If I’d known what was in store


The elves they owned the forest
Right where we stayed the night
With pointy ears and bedy eyes
They planned their brownie heist

The elves they love their chocolate chips
Our brownies made them weep
Those crafty elves they waited
Until we fell asleep


They draped themselves in raccoon pelts
Of fur & claw – they dared,
Credpt past our fire and lifted lids
On all the Tupperware

They searched our campsite stem to stern
They found the goods she baked
They feasted and they drank our wine
Left nothing in their wake


The sun came up – we stretched our limbs
And spied on our ascent
Twenty elves in raccoon pelts
Hungover by our tent

They stayed for beer and pancakes
Then staggered on back home
We promised to bring brownies
The next time we would come


You never know how things will go
So bring enough to spare
Make it sweet and make it light
And make enough to share

You never know how things might go
When you begin your day
My love, she baked me brownies
To celebrate ferris wheel day

My love, she baked me brownies
And the elves came out to play
My love, she baked me brownies
To celebrate ferris wheel day
