Tabbet by Daniel Olsen
This tab is as close as I could get it.
A big thank you to "The Other Color" for help
with the parts I didn't get completely right.

[Verse]
F G C Am Dm
I'm a man of reason, and they say "'Tis the season to be jolly"
G C C7
But it's folly when you volley for position
F G C Am
Never in existence has there been such a resistance
Dm G
To ideas meant to free us
C C7
If you could see us, then you'd listen
F G C Am
Toiling through the ages, making toys on garnished wages
Dm
There's no union
G C C7
We're only through when we out do the competition
[Chorus]
F G C C7
I make toys, but I've got aspirations
F G C
Make some noise
C7
Use your imagination
F G C C7 Dm
Girls and boys, before you wish for what you wish for
G
There's a list for who's been
Dm C F G C
Naughty or nice, but consider the price to an elf
[Verse]
F G C Am
A full indentured servitude can reflect on one's attitude
Dm G C C7
But that silly red hat just makes the fat man look outrageous
F G C Am
Absurd though it may seem, you know, I've heard there's even been illegal doping
Dm G C C7
And though we're coping, I just hope it's not contagious
F G C Am
You try to start a movement, and you think you see improvement
Dm G C C7
But when thrown into the moment, we just don't seem so courageous
[Chorus]
F G C C7
I make toys, but I've got aspirations
F G C
Make some noise
C7
Use your imagination
F G C C7 Dm
Girls and boys, before you wish for what you wish for
G
There's a list for who's been
Dm C F G C
Naughty or nice, but consider the price to an elf
[Bridge]
C G/B
You look at yourself
You're an elf
Gm Am F
And the shelf is just filled with disappointing memories
C G/B Gm
Trends come and go, and your friends wanna know
Am F Em
why you aren't just happy making crappy little gizmos
Dm G C
Every kid knows they'll just throw this stuff away
[Verse]
F G C Am
We're used to repetition, so we drew up a petition
Dm G
We, the undersigned, feel undermined
C C7
Let's redefine "employment"
F G C Am
We know that we've got leverage, so we'll hand the fat man a beverage
Dm G C C7
And sit back while we attack the utter lack of our enjoyment
F G C Am
It may be tough to swallow, but our threats are far from hollow
Dm G C C7
He may thunder, but if he blunders, he may wonder where the toys went
[Chorus]
F G C C7
I make toys, but I've got aspirations
F G C
Make some noise
C7
Use your imagination
F G C C7 Dm
Girls and boys, before you wish for what you wish for
G
There's a list for who's been
Dm C F G
Naughty or nice, but consider the price
Dm C F G
Naughty or nice, but consider the price
Dm C F G C
Naughty or nice, but consider the price to an elf
