Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Walking home from our house Christmas eve
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe

She'd been drinkin' too much egg nog,
And we'd begged her not to go
But she'd left her medication,
So she stumbled out the door into the snow

When they found her Christmas mornin',
At the scene of the attack
There were hoof prints on her forehead,
And incriminatin' Claus marks on her back

Grandma got run over by a reindeer,
Walkin' home from our house Christmas eve
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe

Now were all so proud of Grandpa,
He's been takin' this so well
See him in there watchin' football,
Drinkin' beer and playin' cards with cousin Belle

It's not Christmas without Grandma
All the family's dressed in black
And we just can't help but wonder:
Should we open up her gifts or send them back?

Grandma got run over by a reindeer,
Walkin' home from our house Christmas eve
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe

Now the goose is on the table
And the pudding made of fig
And a blue and silver candle,
That would just have matched the hair in Grandma's wig

I've warned all my friends and neighbours
" Better watch out for yourselves"
They should never give a license,
To a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves

Grandma got run over by a reindeer,
Walkin' home from our house, Christmas eve
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe
