Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose,
and if you ever saw it,
you could even say it glows
All of the other reindeer
used to laugh and call him names;
They never let poor Rudolph
join in any reindeer games
Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say:
"Rudolph with your nose so bright,
won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
Then how the reindeer loved him
as they shouted out with glee,
"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,
You'll go down in history"
< instrumental break >
You know Dasher an' Dancer,
an' Prancer an' Vixen,
Comet an' Cupid, an' Donner an' Blitzen,
but do you recall
the most famous reindeer of all?
< instrumental break >
Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say:
"Why, Rudolph with your nose so bright,
won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
Then how the reindeer loved him
as they shouted out with glee,
"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,
You'll go down, down, down, down, down,
in history"
