Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Straight No Chasers 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
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

Well then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
Hey 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 renegade arctic deer
Was born with a nuclear nose
And if you ever, ever saw it
You would even say it glows
(Like a light bulb)
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
(Like Pinocchio)
They never let
Never ever let
Poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games

Then one dark and stormy night,
Santa came to call
Rudolph with your shiny snout
Do me a favor, help me out

Then all the other deer loved him
As they partied and shouted with glee
"Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
You'll go down in history!"
