Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
Sammy Kaye And His Orchestra Lyrics

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
This is a song about Rudolph, the reindeer with the unique feature of a red, shiny nose.

Had a very shiny nose
His nose was particularly shiny compared to the noses of other reindeer.

And if you ever saw it
If you witnessed his nose, you would notice its glowy quality.

You would even say it glows
In fact, some might describe Rudolph's nose as capable of emitting light.

All of the other reindeer
Rudolph's uniqueness made him stand out from the other reindeer.

Used to laugh and call him names
Unfortunately, the other reindeer bullied Rudolph and made fun of his appearance.

They never let poor Rudolph
Despite his desire to participate in the other reindeer's activities,

Join in any reindeer games
Rudolph was ostracized and was not allowed to join in any activities.

Then one foggy Christmas eve
On a foggy Christmas eve, when all were having trouble seeing, something miraculous happened.

Santa came to say
Santa Claus himself appeared and took notice of Rudolph's unique feature.

Rudolph with your nose so bright
Santa recognized Rudolph's nose as a great tool for completing his work that night.

Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?
Santa asked Rudolph to lead his team of reindeer through the thick fog and guide his sleigh that evening.

Then how the reindeer loved him
The other reindeer, who previously rejected and mocked Rudolph, grew to love him and see his worth.

As they shouted out with glee
They celebrated Rudolph's abilities and contributions with unbridled joy.

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
Rudolph became known and loved as the reindeer with the unique feature that made him invaluable.

You'll go down in history
Rudolph's name and story became an inspiration and will forever be remembered.

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen
The song includes references to other famous reindeer from Christmas folklore.

Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen
The song continues to name other members of Santa's reindeer team.

But do you recall
However, the song asks the listener if they remember Rudolph, who is the most famous of them all.

The most famous reindeer of all
Rudolph is recognized as the most famous and beloved of all Santa's reindeer.

You'll go down, down, down, down, own In history-why
Rudolph's legacy as the red-nosed reindeer who overcame obstacles to save Christmas will live on in history.
