Lyrics
SANTA'S REINDEER
The day before Christmas at Santa's shop,
Everyone's much too busy to stop--
Except for the reindeer who pull Santa's sleigh.
They take it easy all through the day.
Dasher's curled up with a map of the sky.
Dancer is munching on fresh carrot pie.
Prancer is taking a stroll by himself.
Vixen is having tea with an elf.
It's okay to rest today,
Tonight you pull Santa's sleigh,
All around the world you'll go
Jingle-jangle to and fro.
Comet is dreaming of landing on roofs.
Cupid is buffing his antlers and hoofs.
Donder is reading the Reindeer News.
Blitzen is settling down for a snooze.
And Rudolf is watching for fog or snow,
His shiny red nose, warm and aglow,
Safe and snug in his own little stall,
Waiting and listening for Santa to call!
It's okay to rest today.
Tonight you pull Santa's sleigh.
All around the world you'll go
Jingle-jangle to and fro.
It's okay to rest today.
Tonight you pull Santa's sleigh.
All around the world you'll go
Jingle-jangle to and fro.
