Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

Had a very shiny nose

and if you ever saw it 

you would even say it glows.

All of the other reindeer 

used to laugh and call him names,

they never let poor Rudolph 

join in any reindeer games.

Then one foggy Christmas Eve, 

Santa came to say 

"Rudolph with your nose so bright,

won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?"

Then how the reindeer loved him,

as they shouted out with glee,

Rudolph the red nosed reindeer, 

You’ll go down in history.
