Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
KIDZ BOP Kids 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 (reindeer)
Had a very shiny nose, (like a lightbulb)
And if you ever saw it, (saw it)
All of the other reindeer (reindeer)
Used to laugh and call him names (like Pinocchio)
They never let poor Rudolph (Rudolph)
Join in any reindeer games (like Monopoly)
Then one foggy Christmas eve
Santa came to say (oh oh oh)
"Rudolph with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
Then all the reindeer loved him (loved him)
As they shouted out with glee, (yipee)
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer (reindeer)
You'll go down in history (like George Washington)
(Reindeer)
(Like a lightbulb)
(Saw it)
(Like a flashlight)
(Reindeer)
(Like Pinocchio)
(Rudolph)
(Like Monopoly)
Then one foggy Christmas eve
Santa came to say (oh oh oh)
"Rudolph with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
Then all the reindeer loved him (loved him)
As they shouted out with glee (yipee)
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer (reindeer)
You'll go down in history
The song “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” tells the story of a reindeer named Rudolph who is different from the other reindeer because he has a bright, red nose that glows like a lightbulb. The other reindeer make fun of him and refuse to let him join in any reindeer games, much like how some people in real life ostracize those who are different. However, on one foggy Christmas Eve, Santa Claus asks Rudolph to guide his sleigh because his shiny nose will help light the way for the other reindeer. After this, the other reindeer come to appreciate and love Rudolph, shouting with glee as he leads Santa’s sleigh. The lyrics suggest that being different is not always a bad thing and that everyone has something unique to offer.
