Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" is a song based on the story of the same name, created by Robert L. May in 1939 as part of his employment with Montgomery Ward. It tells the tale of Rudolph, Santa's ninth and lead reindeer, who possesses an unusually red-colored nose that gives off its own light (bioluminescence), powerful enough to illuminate the team's path through inclement winter weather.

Lyrics

 * 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


 * Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
 * Had a very shiny nose
 * And if you ever saw it
 * You would 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 the reindeer loved him
 * As they shouted out with glee
 * Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
 * You'll go down in history
