Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come on reindeers
You know your the mastermind
You better run run Rudolph
Santa's gettin' far behind
Run run Rudolph
Santa's gotta make it to town
If Santa makes 'em high tail it
We can take the freeway down
You gotta run run Rudolph
Racin' like a merry-go-round
Said Santa to the child
"Hey boy
What have you been longing for?"
He said
"All I want for Christmas
Is a rock n' roll electric guitar"
And then away went Rudolph
Racin' like a shooting star
You gotta run run Rudolph
Santa's gotta make it to town
If Santa makes 'em high tail it
We can take the freeway down
Well run run Rudolph
Racin' like a merry-go-round
Come on David take it
Well said Santa
To the little girl
"What is it
That you wanna get?"
"A little baby
Doll that can cry
Sleep drink and wet"
Well away went Rudolph
Racin' like a searing jet
You gotta run run Rudolph
Santa's gotta make it to town
If Santa makes
'Em high tail it
We can take the freeway down
Well run run Rudolph
Racin' like a merry-go round
Run run Rudolph
Run run Rudolph
Run run Rudolph
Run run Rudolph
Run run Rudolph
Racin' like a merry-go round
Run run Rudolph
Run run Rudolph
Run run Rudolph
