Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey B2k
Can you guys tell met he story about Rudolph
The one with the shiny nose
Its red
They say it glows
Can you tell a story
Please, please, please

Rudolph the red-nose reindeer
Had a very shiny nose (like a ruby)
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows
(like a light bulb,like some high beams)

All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names (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 all the reindeer loved to him
And they shouted out with glee (yeah)
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
You'll go down in history

Wow that's a great story man
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer

You'll go down in history
Hey

Overall Meaning

These lyrics to A.B. Green's song Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer tell the story of a reindeer named Rudolph and his journey from being an outcast to becoming a hero. Rudolph was different from the other reindeer because of his bright and shiny red nose, which made him the subject of laughter and ridicule. The other reindeer used to call him names and never let him play any reindeer games with them. However, one foggy Christmas Eve, Santa Claus himself arrived and approached Rudolph. He asked him to guide his sleigh with his bright nose so that they could deliver the Christmas presents to all the children.

This was a turning point for Rudolph. The other reindeer, who used to mock him, now saw him in a new light and celebrated him as their hero. Rudolph's shining nose helped to guide Santa's sleigh through the fog, making it possible to deliver the gifts and bringing joy to children all over the world. Rudolph became known as the red-nosed reindeer who went down in history as a symbol of overcoming differences and rising above adversity.
