Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer

Bing Crosby/Ella Fitzgerald



Written by: Johnny Marks



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? â€" 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.]
