Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
Ella Fitzgerald feat. Bing Crosby Lyrics

Well, you know Dasher, and Dancer, and Prancer, and Vixen
You're familiar with the famous reindeer that pull Santa's sleigh

(Comet, and Cupid, and Donner and Blitzen)
These are the other four reindeer in the lineup

But do you recall
But do you remember

The most famous reindeer of all?
The one that surpasses them all in popularity?

Is it Herman? (no)
Is it a reindeer named Herman? (no)

Is it Shermon? (no)
Is it a reindeer named Shermon? (no)

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

It is Heart, is it Shaptler, is it Mosteres?
Could it be Heart, Shaptler, or Mosteres? (No, you'll never guess it!)

(Oh, you'll never, never guess it, don't snap your cap)
(You can try to guess all you want but it's unlikely you'll get it)

Talkin' 'bout Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
I'm referring to Rudolph, the reindeer with a red nose

Oh, him
Yes, that's the one

Had a very shiny nose
His nose was extremely bright and eye-catching

So I heard they say if you ever saw it
Rumors have it that if you caught a glimpse of it

You would even say it glows
You'd go as far as to say that it shines

Like a hot rasie
Like a cherry on top of a cake

All of the other reindeer
Every single one of the other reindeer

Used to laugh and call him names
Used to make fun of Rudolph by calling him different names

(Rudolph is a red nose)
(The fact that Rudolph has a red nose is the reason for the ridicule)

They never let poor Rudolph
They never allowed Rudolph

Join in any reindeer games
To participate in any games reindeer play amongst themselves

Then one foggy Christmas Eve
On a Christmas Eve when the fog was thick

Santa came to say
Santa approached Rudolph and said

"Hey Rudolph, I say Rudolph, with your nose so bright
"Hey Rudolph, I'm calling on you with your shining nose

Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
Would you lead my sleigh tonight?

Then how the reindeer's loved him
At this point, the other reindeer fell in love with Rudolph

And they shouted out with glee
And they couldn't help but exclaim loudly in excitement

(Rudolph, Rudolph, Rudolph)
(They chanted Rudolph's name numerous times)

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

You'll go down in history!
You'll forever be remembered as part of history!

(Well, the stake glows bosset
(His nose is so bright, it's in charge!)

His snarl snoot
His nose must be a snooty one

His tuba that glow like a light-ta-root)
It shines like a root vegetable, giving off light!

With his pink kazoo, he guided the sleigh
He led the sleigh with his nose like a pink kazoo

(He's a hero)
(He is now a hero)

Why, Rudolph saved the day
Rudolph was responsible for saving the day

Rudolph has got his red nose
Rudolph received recognition for his red nose

In the reign deer hall of fame
This accomplishment earned him a spot in the reindeer hall of fame

Rudolph the red-nosed favorite
Rudolph became the red-nosed reindeer that everybody loved

Of the little reign deer days
During these times of childhood, Rudolph gained great popularity among the younger reindeer group

Rudolph the North Pole big shot
Rudolph was now the big shot at the North Pole

Rides around in Santa's sleigh
Rudolph became a part of Santa's sleigh rides

Wearin' a green Fedora
He's wearing a stylish green hat

Smoking a cigar all day
He now finds pleasure in smoking cigars all day long

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

Anyone can plainly see)
(It's easily noticeable)

Just keep your red nose a gleemin'
Maintain your unique characteristic to shine and stand out from the rest

You'll go down in history
You'll be remembered and recognized as a historical figure

(If you keep you nose a red, red rose)
(Assuming you keep your nose red)

If you keep your beak all pink and sleek
If you maintain your unique trait, and it remains attractive and distinctive

And if you keep your snooze maroon because
If your characteristic remains in effect

You'll go down in history
You can become legendary
