Poor Rudolph had a broken leg. It happened on the day he was to lead the reindeer with Santa on his sleigh. They say it was an accident, but somehow I have doubt ‘Cause the other jealous reindeers wanted Rudolph out They tripped him up with tinsel. They’d hoped he’d bash his nose. I heard it on the grapevine, that’s the way the story goes But Rudolph he was limping and the reindeer guys felt bad. They didn’t really mean it. They were really very sad. So they said that they were sorry for causing him such pain And promised in the future, he could lead the herd again So Rudolph, he forgave them and I’m very glad to say He lights the way for Santa on every Christmas Day.

Rudolf is the true leader, rising about that riff-raff.
