Well, 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?
|
|
[Is it Herman, is it Shermon?
|
Is it Eddy, is it Freddy? ? no, no no!
|
It is Heart, is it Shaptler, is it Mosteres
|
Oh, you¡¯ll never, never guess it, don¡¯t snap your cap]
|
Talkin¡¯ ¡®bout Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
|
[Oh, him]
|
Had a very shiny nose
|
[So I heard
|
they day if you ever saw it
|
you would even say it glows.]
|
Like a hot rasie.
|
|
All of the other reindeer
|
Used to laugh and call him names
|
[Rudolph is a red nose
|
They never let poor Rudolph
|
Join in any reindeer games.]
|
|
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
|
Santa came to say:
|
"Hey Rudolph, I say Rudolph, with your nose so bright,
|
won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
|
|
[Then how the reindeers loved him
|
and they shouted out with glee,
|
Rudolph, Rudolph, Rudolph]
|
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
|
You¡¯ll go down in history!
|
|
[Well, the stake glows bosset,
|
His snary snoot
|
His tuba that glow like a light-ta-root
|
With his pink kazoo, he guided the sleigh
|
He¡¯s a hero] why, Rudolph saved the day.
|
|
[Rudolph has got his red nose
|
In the reign deer hall of fame)
|
Rudolph the red nosed favorite
|
Of the little reign deer days.
|
(Rudolph the North Pole big shot
|
rides around in Santa¡¯s sleigh]
|
Wearin¡¯ a green Fedora
|
Smoking a cigar all day.
|
|
[This story has a moral
|
Anyone can plainly see]
|
Just keep your red nose a gleemin¡¯
|
You¡¯ll go down in history
|
|
[If you keep you nose a red, red rose
|
If you keep your beak all pink and sleek]
|
And if you keep your snooze maroon because
|
[You¡¯ll go down in history.]
