Run Rudolph Run
Christmas Songs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Out of all the reindeer you know you're the mastermind
Run, run Rudolph, Randalph's ain't too far behind

Run, run Rudolph, Santa's got to make it to town
Santa make him hurry, he can take the freeway down
Run, run Rudolph a whizzing like a merry-go-round

Said Santa to a boy child "What have you been longing for?"
"All I want for Christmas is a Rock and Roll electric guitar"
And away went Rudolph a whizzing like a shooting star

Run, run Rudolph, Santa's got to make it to town
Santa make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down
Run, run Rudolph a whizzing like a merry-go-round

Said Santa to a girl child "What will please you most to get?"
"A little baby doll that can cry, sleep, drink and wet"
And away went Rudolph a whizzing like a Saber jet

Run, run Rudolph, run, run Rudolph yeah...
Run, run Rudolph, run, run Rudolph, run, run Rudolph
Santa Claus is coming to town

Run, run Rudolph, Santa's got to make it to town
Santa make him hurry, he can take the freeway down
Run, run Rudolph a whizzing like a merry-go-round





Run, run Rudolph, run, run Rudolph yeah...
Run, run Rudolph, run, run Rudolph, run, run Rudolph

Overall Meaning

The song "Run Rudolph Run" is a classic Christmas tune that talks about Santa Claus and Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer, who both have to hurry to make it to town in time for Christmas. In the first verse, the lyrics highlight Rudolph's unique features and skill, and assert that he is the mastermind among all the other reindeer. The second verse depicts Santa Claus's efforts to make it to town on time and to do so, he encourages Rudolph to quicken their pace, making him take the freeway down. The chorus of the song emphasizes Rudolph's speed and agility, comparing him to a merry-go-round. In the third verse, Santa interacts with a boy and girl child and asks them what they would like for Christmas. The boy longs for a Rock and Roll electric guitar, while the girl asks for a little baby doll that can cry, sleep, drink and wet. Rudolph is ready and waiting, and away he goes, whizzing like a shooting star and a Saber jet, to help Santa fulfill the children's wishes.
