Original: Band on the Run, written by Paul and Linda McCartney
Inspiration was all the deer my husband and I saw around our neighborhood. I thought about Santa rounding them up.
Deer on the run, Deer on the run And dear Santa Claus and Rudolph too Searching for them Deer on the run, Deer on the run Deer on the run, Deer on the run Oh the strain on holiday knees and red nose As they searched through chilly woods And the old man’s sleigh is balancing on roof With gifts of gold and coal “Good to be running free Get Santa off his ride Hilarious to break Rudolph’s pride Don’t rest Blitzen! Rest, Blitzen… Rest” Deer on the run, Deer on the run And dear Santa Claus and Rudolph too Searching for them Deer on the run, Deer on the run Deer on the run, Deer on the run “When I catch those reindeer They’ll get kick in the rear! Those dirty paws will get no applause. Stop there, Blitzen! Stop, Blitzen! Stop!” The old man wants his milk and cookies pronto The chimneys are growing cold And look, children not dreaming, and waking up With nothing fun at all Deer on the run, Deer on the run And dear Santa Claus and Rudolph too Searching for them Deer on the run, Deer on the run Deer on the run, Deer on the run
