Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
Gene Autry- Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all?
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows
All of the other reindeer
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"
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows
All of the other reindeer
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 love him
As they shouted out with glee
"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
You'll go down in history"
The lyrics to Gene Autry's "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer" tell the story of a reindeer named Rudolph who was ostracized by his peers due to his physical difference, a shiny, red nose. The song begins by listing off the names of other famous reindeer, but points out that Rudolph is the most famous of them all. The lyrics explain that other reindeer would laugh and call Rudolph names, refusing to let him join in on any of their games.
Despite being an outcast, Rudolph's life changes after one foggy Christmas Eve when Santa Claus comes to him and asks for his help guiding the sleigh with his bright nose. The other reindeer express their newfound appreciation for Rudolph, shouting with glee that he will go down in history.
