Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer Songtext
von Elmo & Patsy

Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Walking home from our house, Christmas Eve
You can say there′s no such thing as Santa
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe

She'd been drinkin′ too much eggnog
And we'd begged her not to go
But she forgot her medication
And she staggered out the door into the snow

When we found her Christmas morning
At the scene of the attack
She had hoof prints on her forehead
And incriminating Claus marks on her back

Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Walking home from our house, Christmas Eve
You can say there's no such thing as Santa
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe


Now we′re all so proud of Grandpa
He′s been taking this so well
See him in there, watching football
Drinkin' beer and playing cards with Cousin Mel

It′s not Christmas without Grandma
All the family's dressed in black
And we just can′t help but wonder
Should we open up her gifts or send them back? Send them back!

Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Walking home from our house, Christmas Eve
You can say there's no such thing as Santa
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe

Now the goose is on the table
And the pudding made of fig (ah!)
And a blue and silver candles
That would just have matched the hair in Grandma′s wig

I've warned all my friends and neighbors
"Better watch out for yourselves!"
They should never give a license
To a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves


Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Walking home from our house, Christmas Eve
And you can say there's no such thing as Santa
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe

Sing it, Grandpa

Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Walking home from our house, Christmas Eve
You can say there′s no such thing as Santa
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe

Merry Christmas
