“You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen,
you know 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
“Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
“Santa came to say,
“Rudolph with your nose so bright,
“Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight
“Then how all the reindeer loved him,
“As they shouted out with glee,
“Rudolph the red-nose Reindeer
“You’ll go down in history

“And if you ever saw it,
“You would even say it glows,
“And all of the other reindeer
“Used to laugh and call him names,
“They never let poor Rudolph
“Join in any reindeer games,
“Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
“Santa came to say,
“Rudolph with your nose so bright,
“Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight
“Then how all the reindeer loved him,
“As they shouted out with glee,
“Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,
“You’ll go down in history.”
