Well, you know Dasher, and Dancer, and
Prancer, and Vixen, [bad word]  and Cupid, and
Donner and Blitzen]
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all?

[Is it Herman, is it Shermon?
Is it Eddy, is it Freddy? – no, no no!
It is Heart, is it Shaptler, is it Mosteres
Oh, you’ll never, never guess it, don’t snap your cap]
Talkin’ [bad word]  the red-nosed reindeer
[Oh, him]
Had a very shiny nose
[So I heard
they day if you ever saw it
you would even say it glows.]
Like a hot rasie.

All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names [bad word] is a red nose
They never let [bad word] Join in any reindeer games.]

Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say: [bad word]  I [bad word]  with your nose so bright,
won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

[Then how the reindeers loved him
and they shouted out with [bad word]  [bad word] 
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
You’ll go down in history!

[Well, the stake glows bosset,
His snary snoot
His tuba that glow like a light-ta-root
With his pink kazoo, he guided the sleigh
He’s a hero] [bad word] saved the day.
 [bad word] has got his red nose
In the reign deer hall of [bad word] the red nosed favorite
Of the little reign deer days. [bad word] the North Pole big shot
rides around in Santa’s sleigh]
Wearin’ a green Fedora
Smoking a cigar all day.

[This story has a moral
Anyone can plainly see]
Just keep your red nose a gleemin’
You’ll go down in history

[If you keep you nose a red, red rose
If you keep your beak all pink and sleek]
And if you keep your snooze maroon because
[You’ll go down in history.
