Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hey, Rudy!
Keep on lighting up the night with your red nose
Hey Rudy, can you hear me now? Tell Santa not to slow you down
I can't sleep 'cause I swear I saw you fly by my window
Hey, Rudy, can you hear me now? Tell Santa not to slow you down
[Verse 2]
Yo, it was December 24th at 30 Rock after dark
I had seen somebody tryna put his sled in the park
So I approached him very slowly, I was nervous and scared
I really wasn't aware that I was been reindeer'd
I said, "Ayo, Rudy, it's that part of the movie
You the navigator truly, so time to sock it to me
Your nose is like a ruby, let's seize the opportunity, fly!
And where we go is up to you to decide"
[PreChorus]
Gotta make it through the night shift
Try to figure out where I fit
On the naughty or the nice list
[Chorus]
Hey, Rudy!
Keep on lighting up the night with your red nose
Hey Rudy, can you hear me now? Tell Santa not to slow you down
I can't sleep 'cause I swear I saw you fly by my window
Hey Rudy, can you hear me now? Tell Santa not to slow you down
[Bridge]
We were singing, "Fa-la-la-la-la"
Now I'm wearing my pajama-mas
Trying to fall asleep but nah-nah-nah
Ain't nothing like Christmas Eve
[PreChorus]
Gotta make it through the night shift
Try to figure out where I fit
On the naughty or the nice list
[Chorus]
Hey, Rudy!
Keep on lighting up the night with your red nose
Hey Rudy, can you hear me now? Tell Santa not to slow you down
I can't sleep 'cause I swear I saw you fly by my window
Hey Rudy, can you hear me now? Tell Santa not to slow you down
[Outro]
We were singing, "Fa-la-la-la-la"
Now I'm wearing my pajama-mas
Trying to fall asleep but nah-nah-nah
Ain't nothing like Christmas Eve
