Festive Sing-A-Long Time!
There was dasher and dancer etcetera etcetera
Comet and something and something and blitzen
But do you recaaaaaaaall the most regular plain deer of allllll
BA DUM BUM BUM
Budolph the brownnosed plain deer
Had a very regular noooose
And if you ever saw iiiiit
You would even say….probably nothing.
I mean, it was just a regular nose.
All of the other reindeer
Used to treat him normallyyyyy
They always let that Budolph
Do whatever the rest of them were doing, obviouslyyyy.
Then one foggy Christmas eve
Santa came to saaaaay (Ho hO Ho)
Budolph with your nose so brown
You’re kind of a kiss ass.
Then all the reindeer stood there
As they lined up before the sleeeigh
Budolph the brownnosed plain deer
You’ll go down in (possibly a footnote somewhere I guess?) historyyyyy
This weak-minded control freak has a plan.
To elevate himself at everyone's expense.
He's causing the very problems that he claims to fix.
But he's nothing more than a brown-nosed little prick.
Tossing everything around him on the pyre.
He's forgotten that we've got time and karma on our side.
That sweet little honeybee with the powerful sting.
That deems bad intentions as lowbrow, poisonous things.
One day, sure enough, that karmic bee blitzed in and stung him in the nuts.
(his brow beat wife bloodied his nose and left him in the dust).
He's too conceited to believe that his dirty ego...
Raped itself and leaped into the ditch.
Now guess who's rising from the ashes.
Guess who's spinning on the spits.
Poor Rudolph his nose has turned brown
His antics have made Santa frown
For no one supposes
That folks with brown noses
Are trouble and let others down

Rudolph paled because his nose turned brown
He couldn’t smile so he wore a frown
Santa wiped a tear from the reindeer’s eye
He hated to see poor Rudolph cry
Santa sprinkled on some Christmas dust
The nose is now red not a dark shade of rust
So look out of your window on Christmas night
You will see Rudolph’s red nose shining bright
