Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
Ella Fitzgerald and Bing Crosby Lyrics

Well, you know Dasher, and Dancer, and Prancer, and Vixen,
You must be familiar with Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, and Vixen, the other reindeer.

(Comet, and Cupid, and Donner and Blitzen)
Also, we should not forget to mention Comet, Cupid, Donner, and Blitzen.

But do you recall
But do you remember

The most famous reindeer of all?
The most famous and beloved reindeer named Rudolph.

(Is it Herman, is it Shermon?
(Could it be Herman or Shermon?

Is it Eddy, is it Freddy? No, no no!
No, it's not Eddy or Freddy!

It is Heart, is it Shaptler, is it Mosteres
Could it be Heart, Shaptler, or Mosteres?

Oh, you'll never, never guess it, don't snap your cap)
Well, you'll never guess who it is, don't worry too much about it!

Talkin' 'bout Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
I'm talking about Rudolph, the reindeer with a shiny, red nose.

(Oh, him)
(Yes, that's the one!)

Had a very shiny nose
His nose was incredibly shiny.

(So I heard
(Rumor has it

They day if you ever saw it
That if you ever saw it

You would even say it glows).
You'd even say that it glows!

All of the other reindeer
All the other reindeer

Used to laugh and call him names
Used to laugh at him and call him names.

(Rudolph is a red nose
(Rudolph has a red nose

They never let poor Rudolph
They never let Rudolph

Join in any reindeer games).
Join in any of their reindeer games.

Then one foggy Christmas Eve
One foggy Christmas Eve

Santa came to say,
Santa came and said,

"Hey Rudolph, I say Rudolph, with your nose so bright,
"Hey Rudolph, with your bright nose,

Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
Can you guide my sleigh tonight?"

(Then how the reindeers loved him
(Then, the other reindeer loved him

And they shouted out with glee,
And they shouted with joy,

Rudolph, Rudolph, Rudolph)
Rudolph, Rudolph, Rudolph)

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
Rudolph, the reindeer with the shiny, red nose,

You'll go down in history!
You'll be remembered forever!

(Well, the stake glows bosset,
(Wow, his nose was so bright,

His snary snoot
His snazzy snout

His tuba that glow like a light-ta-root
His tuba glowed like a light-ta-root

With his pink kazoo, he guided the sleigh
He guided the sleigh with his pink kazoo

He's a hero) why, Rudolph saved the day.
He's a hero; Rudolph saved the day.

(Rudolph has got his red nose
(Rudolph's famous for his red nose

In the reign deer hall of fame)
He's in the reindeer hall of fame.

Rudolph the red nosed favorite
Rudolph, the favorite reindeer with a red nose,

Of the little reign deer days.
During the days of the little reindeer.

(Rudolph the North Pole big shot
(Rudolph, the big shot of the North Pole

Rides around in Santa's sleigh)
Rides around in Santa's sleigh.

Wearin' a green Fedora
Wearing a green fedora.

Smoking a cigar all day.
Smoking a cigar all day long.

(This story has a moral
(This story has a lesson

Anyone can plainly see)
That anyone can see.

Just keep your red nose a gleemin'
Just keep your nose red and shiny

You'll go down in history
And you'll be remembered forever.

(If you keep you nose a red, red rose
(If you keep your nose red like a red rose

If you keep your beak all pink and sleek)
If you keep your beak pink and sleek.

And if you keep your snooze maroon because
And if you keep your snooze (nose) maroon,

(You'll go down in history).
(You'll be remembered forever).
