Run Rudolph Run
Green Cee lo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Run, run Rudolph, Randolph’s stayed far behind
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, wheeling 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"
Run, run Rudolph, Santa needs to make it to town
Santa, make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down
Run, run Rudolph, wheeling like a merry-go-round
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, wheeling like a merry-go-round
Said Santa to a girl child "what would you like most to get?"
"I want a little baby doll that can cry, sleep, drink and wet"
And away went Rudolph a whizzing like a saber jet
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, wheeling like a merry-go-round
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, wheeling like a merry-go-round
Run, Rudolph, I'm wheeling like a merry-go-round
Run, run Rudolph, wheeling like a merry-go-round
