grandma got runover by a reindeer

walking home from our house christmas eve

you could say theres no such thing as santa

but as for me and grandpa we believe



she'd been drinking too much egg nog

and we begged her not to go

but she forgot her medication

and she staggered out the door into the snow



when we found her the Christmas morning

at the scene of the attack

she had hoofprints on her fore head

and incriminating claws marks on her back



grandma got runover by a reindeer

walking home from our house christmas eve

you could say theres no such thing as santa

but as for me and grandpa we believe



now we're all so proud of grandpa

he's been taking this so well

see him in there watching football

drinking beer and playing cards with cousin Nel



its not christmas without grandma

all the family's dressed in black

and we just cant help but wonder

should we open up her gifts or send them back?

(send them back!)

walking home from our house christmas eve

you could say theres no such thing as santa

but as for me and grandpa we believe



now the goose is on the table

and the pudding made of fig (ah!)

and the blue and silver candles

that would just have matched the hair in grandmas wig



i've warned all our friends and neighbours

better watch out for yourselves

they should never give a license

to a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves



grandma got runover by a reindeer

walking home from our house christmas eve

you could say theres no such thing as santa

but as for me and grandpa we believe



(sing it grandpa!)

(Merry Christmas)
