Run Rudolph Run
Phineas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Out of all the reindeers, you know you're the mastermind
Run, run, Rudolph, Randolph ain't too 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, 'cause I'm reelin' like a merry-go-round

Said Santa to a boy child, "What have you been longin' for?"
"All I want for Christmas is a rock-n-roll electric guitar"
And then away went Rudolph whizzin' like a shootin' star

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, 'cause I'm reelin' like a merry-go-round, ooh

Said Santa to a girl child, "What would please you most to get?"
"A little baby doll that can cry, sleep, drink, and wet"
And then away went Rudolph whizzin' like a Sabrejet

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, 'cause I'm reelin' like a merry-go-round

Run, run, Rudolph, run, run Rudolph




Run, run, Rudolph, run, run Rudolph
Run, run, Rudolph, Randolph ain't too far behind
