Note: Inspired by a filk of the same name by Branna.
I used the format of the song as seen in the remake
"Furry Happy Monsters" on Sesame Street.
Heard them all around:
Spirits, spirits
Sweeping up the ground
Cleaning, cleaning
Left milk for the crowd
Happy, happy
Temples in our town
For the gods we knew
The little jobs they'd do
Tiny household spirits keeping guard
(Tiny household spirits keeping guard)
Tiny household spirits working
None among our young
Know them, love them
Fantasies and fun
Chide them, hide them
Your work is all your own
Rush now, hush now
Grandma's stories fade
Fairy-time is done:
Our gods are down to One.
Tiny household spirits left unknown
(Tiny household spirits left unknown)
Tiny household spirits weeping
Whoa where'd they go?
Hear them all around:
Spirits, spirits
In engines, horns and sounds
Guarding, guarding
The keys cannot be found
Ask them, ask them
My vcr's rewound
'Cause I asked them to
These brand-new jobs they do
Tiny household spirits keeping guard
(Tiny household spirits keeping guard)
Tiny happy spirits working
Tiny household spirits keeping guard
(Tiny household spirits keeping guard)
Tiny happy spirits working
Tiny household spirits keeping guard
(Tiny household spirits keeping guard)
Tiny happy spirits working
Tiny household spirits keeping guard
(Tiny household spirits keeping guard)
Tiny happy spirits working
Tiny household spirits keeping guard
(Tiny household spirits keeping guard)
Tiny happy spirits working
Spirits, happy spirits
Spirits, happy spirits
