we build a contraption to help Donner Fly

Our favorite reindeer, Donner was way too old to fly
He had arthritis in his ankles, his knees and his thigh
The rest of us reindeer built him a contraption to fly.
Now we take him along, and some ask us why.

He cheers us up and inspires us with barely a try.
He spurs us to do our best, and won’t let us cry.
We cannot give up, for he is our cheerleader guy.
Donner makes the trip pleasant, said new reindeer, Cy.
