Reindeer games

Do YOU know the secret words to Rudolph the Red nose Reindeer?

The other day, someone came in singing that song, and I chimed in with the extra words. The other person looked over at us like we were nuts. They didn't know that Rudolph had those lyrics.

So for those of you out of the loop, here (from my own recollection, not from any website) is the complete lyrics to Rudolph the Red nosed Reindeer.

Rudolph the red nosed reindeer (reindeer)
had a very shiny nose (like a light bulb)
and if you ever saw it (saw it)
you would even say it glows (like a light bulb)
all of the other reindeer (reindeer)
used to laugh and call him names (like Pinocchio)
they never let poor Rudolph (Rudolph)
join in any reindeer games (like Monopoly)
then one foggy Christmas eve,
Santa came to say (HO HO HO)
Rudolph with your nose so bright, wont you drive my sleigh tonight?
then all the reindeer loved him (loved him)
and they shouted out with glee (whoopee!)
Rudolph the red nosed reindeer (reindeer)
You'll go down in history (like George Washington)

In first grade, I went to a private school. We had the fifth graders come sing us a song for Christmas. Children are such bad influences on each other. This is the Rudolph song you won't forget.

Rudolph the rootin' tootin' cowboy
had a very shiny gun
and if you ever saw it
you would turn around and run
all of the other cowboys
used to laugh and call him names
they never let poor Rudolph
join in any cowboy games
then one foggy weekend eve
Sheriff came to say
Rudolph with your gun so bright
wont you shoot my wife tonight?
then all the cowboys loved him
and they shouted out whopee!
Rudolph the rootin' tootin' cowboy
you'll go down in history!
