Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer

By Randy Brooks (1979).  Patsy and Elmo

	Grandma got run over by a reindeer
	Walking home from our house Christmas eve.
	You can say there’s no such thing as Santa,
	But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

 
She’d been drinkin’ too much egg nog,
And we’d begged her not to go.
But she’d left her medication,
So she stumbled out the door into the snow.

When they found her Christmas mornin’,
At the scene of the attack.
There were hoof prints on her forehead,
And incriminatin’ Claus marks on her back.   Chorus
 
Now were all so proud of Grandpa,
He’s been takin’ this so well.
See him in there watchin’ football,
Drinkin’ beer and playin’ cards with cousin Belle.

It’s not Christmas without Grandma.
All the family’s dressed in black.
And we just can’t help but wonder:
Should we open up her gifts or send them back?   Chorus

 Now the goose is on the table
And the pudding made of fig.
And a blue and silver candle,
That would just have matched the hair in Grandma’s wig.

I’ve warned all my friends and neighbours.
“Better watch out for yourselves.”
They should never give a license,
To a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves.   Chorus
