Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer

Well a couple of good friends of mine

Elmo and Patsy

Wrote me and said they'd written the perfect country Christmas comedy song

I said "No you didn't, you didn't mention nothing about

Well, yeah you pretty much got it all, I mean Grandma and of course the

Family and getting drunk and run over by heavy machinery and"

Well since I needed the money I felt obliged to include it on this record

And it goes a little something like this

Grandma got runned over by a reindeer

Walking home from our house Christmas Eve

You can say there's no such thing as Santa

But as for me and Grandpa, we believe

She'd been drinkin' too much eggnog

And we'd begged her not to go

But she'd left her medication

So she stumbled out the door into the snow

When they found her Christmas mornin'

At the scene of the attack

There were hoof prints on her forehead

And incriminatin' Claus marks on her back

Grandma got runned over by a reindeer

Walking home from our house Christmas Eve

(On her way home)

You can say there's no such thing as Santa

(Say there's no Santa)

But as for me and Grandpa, we believe

(Lord, we believe)

Now we're all so proud of Grandma

He's been takin' this so well

See him in there watchin' football

Drinkin beer and playin' cards with cousin Belle

It's not Christmas without Grandma

All the family's dressed in black

And we just can't help but wonder

Should we open up her gifts or send them back?

Grandma got runned over by a reindeer

Walking home from our house Christmas Eve

(Midnight before Christmas)

You can say there's no such thing as Santa

(Say there's no Santa)

But as for me and Grandpa, we believe

(Lord, we believe)

Now the goose is on the table

And the pudding made of fig

And a blue and silver candle

That would have just matched the hair in grandma's wig
