Nine Little Reindeer - Gene Autry

Yes, Rudolf did make history

This was the story of an underdog who came through with flying colors

And brought happiness to children and grownups alike all over the world

Well, here’s a song especially for you kids

Maybe you’d like to pull up a chair and help me sing it

Whaddaya say?

A long long time ago

As all you folks should know

Ol' Santa started loading up his sleigh

A smile on every face

Each reindeer took his place

To bring the children joy on Christmas Day

With one little, two little, three little reindeer

(Four little, five little, six little reindeer)

Seven little, eight little, yes eight little reindeer

Pulling Santa’s sleigh

(There's Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donder, Blitzen)

But there’s one little reindeer missing, Rudolf is his name

For a long, long time

He had hitched up nine

To make his Christmas ride

Now Rudolph’s gone

He’s so alone

Santa Claus sat down and cried

With one little, two little, three little reindeer

(Four little, five little, six little reindeer)

Seven little, eight little, yes eight little reindeer

Pulling Santa’s sleigh

(Hey Santa, look, look who’s coming)

(It'm Rudolf the red-nosed reindeer)

It’s been a year

Since we’ve been here

And how the time it goes

Where have you been

My little friend?

«Shining up my nose»

There’s one little, two little, three little reindeer

(Four little, five little, six little reindeer)

Seven little, eight, yes, nine little reindeer

Pulling Santa’s sleigh

Peace on earth, goodwill to all

And a very merry Christmas day
