Song Lyrics
Rudolf 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 Rudolf
Join in any reindeer games.
Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say:
Santa Claus: "Ho, ho, ho! Rudolf with your nose so bright,
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?
Then how the reindeer loved him.
And they shouted out with glee
"Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer,
You'll go down in history!"
