You know Dasher and Dancer And Prancer and
Vixen,Comet and Cupid And Donner and BlitzenBut
do you recall the most famous reindeer of
all?Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer had a very
shiny noseAnd if you ever saw it you would even
say it glowsAll of the other reindeer used to
laugh and call him namesThey never let poor
Rudolph join in any reindeer gamesThen one
foggy Christmas Eve, Santa came to say"Rudolph
with your nose so bright, Won't you guide my
sleigh tonight?"Then how the reindeer loved
him, And they shouted out with glee"Rudolph
the Red-Nosed Reindeer, You'll go down in
history!"
