Brad Paisley revealed everything “That Crazy Elf” did in the lyrics of his hilarious new holiday song. The country star played the festive anthem during an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers on Monday (December 15).

“We have two elves at our house that are absolutely insane,” Paisley said. He and Seth Meyers looked at photos of the elves hosting a concert for a crowd of action figures, a superhero-themed display and a slingshot snafu that led to a broken window. Still, Paisley said “they’re a blast.”

Paisley went on to five Meyers his won elf, and sing “That Crazy Elf (On The Shelf),” which appears on his new Christmas album, Snow Globe Town. The 16-track album arrived in connection with Paisley’s music for A Grand Ole Opry Christmas, Hallmark movie that premiered on Thanksgiving weekend. The project includes eight original songs and eight renditions of Christmas classics. Find the full album on iHeartRadio here.

Throughout his interview on Meyers’ show, Paisley also spoke about his recent run of shows in Las Vegas (including an unexpected song request from an audience member), the free grocery store and toy store he and wife Kimberly Williams-Paisley started to help others, the time he paused a performance to answer a call from his son, and more.
