Rudolph
the Red-Nosed Reindeer ~ recorded 1959 What kind of a name is Rudolph for a reindeer? What kind of a name is Rudolph for a reindeer? Dear, dear, dear, dear deer! 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? What kind of a name is Rudolph for a reindeer? Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Had a very shiny nose, and if you ever saw it, you would 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 > All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names; They never let poor Rudolph play in any reindeer games. Then one foggy Christmas Eve, Santa came to say: "Rudolph with your nose so bright, Ah! 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."
