Throughout history there have been many songs written to the tunes of other songs. This one is about a reindeer named Rudolph and the companions who mocked him for being different--until he couldn't take it any longer.

(sung)

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
Had a big shiny nose
And everyone who saw it
Marvelled at how it glows

All of the other reindeer
Mocked him so viciously
Til they provoked poor Rudolph
Into a killing spree

Met them at the stable
Blood and flying fur
Eight battered reindeer corpses
North Pole Massacre

Then came one foggy evening
Teardrop in Santa's eye
As he pronounced the sentence
"Rudy, you're bound to die"

This time tomorrow
Reckon where he'll be
Outside of Santa's workshop
Hanging from a Christmas tree

Hang down your head, poor Rudolph
Hang down your head in shame
You let the other reindeer
Goad you to kill and maim

Hang down your head, poor Rudolph
Hang down your head and cry
You went and lost your temper
Poor deer, you're bound to die

Poor deer, you're bound to die
Poor deer, you're bound to die
