Lyrics:

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? – 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.]
