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."

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."

Johnny Marks , 1949
