Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey, listen to me, Rudolph
You know you are the mastermind
So run, run, Rudolph
Randolph ain't so far behind
[Verse 2]
Run, run Rudolph
Santa's gotta make it to town
Hey, you gotta make him hurry
Tell him he can take the freeway down
Go and run, run Rudolph
Reeling like a merry-go-round
[Verse 3]
Santa asked a boy child
"Whaddya longin' for?"
He said, "All I want for Christmas
Is a rock and roll electric guitar"
Then away went Rudolph
Whizzing like a shootin' star
[Verse 4]
Run, run Rudolph
Santa's gotta make it to town
Son, you gotta make him hurry
Tell him he can take the freeway down
Go on, run, run Rudolph
Reeling like a merry-go-round
[Verse 5]
Well, Santa asked a girl child
"Honey, whaddya wanna get?"
Said, "A little baby doll that'll
Cry, sleep, drink and wet"
Then away went Rudolph
Whizzing like a Sabre jet
[Verse 6]
Ya'll, run, run Rudolph
Santa's gotta make it to town
Son, you gotta make him hurry
Tell him he can take the freeway down
Go on, run, run Rudolph
Reeling like a merry-go-round
[Verse 7]
Well, run, run Rudolph
Santa's gotta make it to town
Son, you gotta make him hurry
Tell him he can take the freeway down
Go on, run, run Rudolph
Reeling like a merry-go-round
[Verse 8]
Hey, run, run Rudolph
Santa's gotta make it real quick
You gotta make him hurry
Gotta make him go lickety-split
Come on, don't stand there looking like some kind of reindeer hick
Go on, run, run Rudolph
Santa's gotta make it to town
