Lyrics

Grand ma got run o ver by a rein deer

walk ing home from our house Christ mas Eve.

You can say there’s no such thing as San ta,

but as for me and Grand pa, we be lieve.

She’d been drink ing too much egg nog,

and we begged her not to go,

but she for got her med i ca tion,

and she stag gered out the door in to the snow.

When we found her Christ mas morn ing

at the scene of the at tack,

she had hoof prints on her fore head,

and in crim i nat ing Claus marks on her back.

lieve.
