Captain Colonial Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer springs to mind... Grandma got run over by a reindeerWalking home from our house Christmas eveYou can say there's no such thing as SantaBut as for me and Grandpa, we believeShe'd been drinkin' too much egg nogAnd we'd begged her not to goBut she'd left her medicationSo she stumbled out the door into the snowWhen they found her Christmas mornin'At the scene of the attackThere were hoof prints on her foreheadAnd incriminatin' Claus marks on her backGrandma got run over by a reindeerWalkin' home from our house Christmas eveYou can say there's no such thing as SantaBut as for me and Grandpa, we believeNow were all so proud of GrandpaHe's been takin' this so wellSee him in there watchin' footballDrinkin' beer and playin' cards with cousin BelleIt's not Christmas without GrandmaAll the family's dressed in blackAnd we just can't help but wonderShould we open up her gifts or send them back?Grandma got run over by a reindeerWalkin' home from our house Christmas eveYou can say there's no such thing as SantaBut as for me and Grandpa, we believeNow the goose is on the tableAnd the pudding made of pigAnd a blue and silver candleThat would just have matched the hair in Grandma's wigI've warned all my friends and neighboursBetter watch out for yourselvesThey should never give a licenseTo a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elvesGrandma got run over by a reindeerWalkin' home from our house, Christmas eveYou can say there's no such thing as SantaBut as for me and Grandpa, we believe!
