Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer Songtext
von Bing Crosby & Ella Fitzgerald

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? (No)
Is it Sherman? (No)
Is it Eddie, is it Freddy? (Oh, no, no, no)
It is Hart, is it Shapner, is it Mots, perhaps?
(Oh, you′ll never, never guess it, don't snap your cap)

Talkin′ about Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer, Oh him
Had a very shiny nose, So I've heard
They say if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows, Like a hot razzle

All of the other reindeers
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

(With his pink proboscis, his cherry snoot)
(His tuber that glowed like a light at the root)
With his pink bazoo, he guided the sleigh (He′s a hero)
Why, Rudolph saved the day (Yay, yay, yay, yay)

Rudolph has got his red nose
In the reindeer hall of fame
Rudolph's the red-nosed favorite
Of the little reindeer dames
Rudolph′s a North Pole big shot
Rides around in Santa's sleigh (Ho, ho, ho, ho)
Wearin′ a green fedora
Smokin' a cigar all day


(This story has a moral)
(Anyone could plainly see)
Just keep your red nose a-gleemin′
You'll go down in history

(If you keep your nose a red, red rose)
If you keep your beak all pink and sleek
And if you keep your schnoz maroon because
You'll go down in history
