Aaron, Absalon, Abraham, Abe

What must I do to save my little babe?

Abel, Abernathy, Abner, Ace

I'll never get done at such a pace

Barney, Bernie or Bernard

Bertrude, Paul - it's just too hard

Casper, Constantine and on and on...

My, aren't you glad that we named you John?

One little name is all I lack

But it's a tough old nut to crack

Get through the D's

Then through the G's

Then through the P's

And onto the Z's

If I simply let the alphabet

Unfold the names I might find,

Tell me, wise old book from off the shelf,

Tell me... What would an elf call himself?

One little name is all I seek

What if it's Latin or it's Greek?

One little name

One little word

Bet it's a name that I've never heard

One name and I haven't got a clue

One name... Could it be Sally or Sue?

I could go on re-writing tombs,

Making up names for naughty gnomes

There's only one,

One that will fit

How do you find the one that is hit?

When you've only got three days

And there must be a million ways to

Make the endless list of possibilities...

Please...

Please!

One little name will pass the test

One little name and I can rest...

One little name is all I ask

It should be such a simple task

What if it's Ed? Or even Ted?

What if it's Joe? Or how about Fred?

But something tells me that it's not a...

So compels me not to stop

But to keep on reading, keep on writing day and night

Til I find the one and win this grueling game

And I've won with the one and only right

One little name!
