You know Dasher and Dancer, Prancer and Vixen
Comet and Cupid, Donner and Blitzen
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all?

Hey Rudolph
Wo-hoah, Rudolph

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glowed
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games

Oh, then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say (hey Rudolph)
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
You ll go down in history
Hey Rudolph

Hey Rudolph
Wo-hoah, Rudolph
