Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer
Disney Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen
But do you recall the most famous reindeer of all
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows
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
(Repeat)
The lyrics to the famous Christmas song Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer tell the story of a special reindeer who faced ridicule and exclusion from his peers because of his unique physical attribute - a bright, glowing red nose. The song begins by listing the names of the eight other reindeer who pull Santa's sleigh and asking if the listener remembers them. However, the focus quickly shifts to Rudolph, as we learn about his nose and his difficult experiences being bullied by the other reindeer. Despite their cruelty, Rudolph remained a kind and good-hearted reindeer.
The turning point in the song's narrative comes on Christmas Eve when a thick fog threatens to impede Santa Claus's journey. It is then that Santa realizes that Rudolph's nose could serve as a guiding light to safely navigate through the fog. He asks Rudolph to lead the sleigh and the other reindeer quickly change their tune, accepting Rudolph and expressing their newfound love for him. The song ends with the recognition that Rudolph has become a legendary figure, who will be remembered for generations to come.
