Chorus
()              ()                      
Run Run Rudolph, Santa's gotta make it to town
                                                    
Santa's in a hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down
                                               
Then away went Rudolph, reelin' like a merry-go-round


Verse 1
                                                     
Said Santa to a girl child, "What'd please you most to get?"
                                                    
"A little baby doll that could cry, drink, sleep and wet"
                                               
Then away went Rudolph, whizzin' like a Phantom jet*


Repeat Chorus


Verse 2
                                                     
Said Santa to a boy child, "What have you been longing for?"
                                                           
"Well all I want for Christmas is a rock'n'roll electric guitar"
                                               
Then away went Rudoph, whizzin' like a shooting star
