Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer

by Patsy & Elmo

later recorded by the Irish Rovers

Chorus:

Grandma got run 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 drinking too much eggnog,

And we begged her not to go,

But she forgot her medication,

So she staggered out the door and through the snow.

When we found her Christmas morning,

At the scene of the attack,

There were hoof-prints on her forehead,

And incriminating Claus-marks on her back.

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 Mel.

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?

Now the goose is on the table,

And the pudding made of fig,

And the blue and silver candles

That would just have matched the hair in Grandma's wig.

I warned all my friends and neighbors,

Better watch out for yourselves!

They should never give a license

To a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves.

Sing it, Grandpa!

Grandma got run 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.




I think it's funny. Is that wrong? And I love my dear old Grams!!

That song was a big hit in our house when DD and DS were younger . . .considering they always thought my mom was drunk on Xmas Eve!

 

[MinnyGranny62]

Love it Love it Love it.

OMG - I wish I hadn't opened this thread.

Must not get that song stuck in my head, must not get that song stuck in my head, must not get that song stuck in my head......

 

[pearlieq]

It always makes me grin!

 

[Stitchfans]

Every year around Christmas time cartoon network plays that and the Grinch over and over. Each time I hear the song I still have to laugh though.

What about Dominic the Italian Christmas donkey song! That is so funny!

 

[buddy&wooz]

Aw, this always reminds me of my late grandma, she loved this song .

 

[HugsForEeyore]

I hated the song at first, since I thought they kill the Grandma since the song certainly implies it! Then I was watching the video on TV, and surprise! Grandma is not killed after all! She did get run over by the reindeer, but at the end she comes back to her house by sliding down the chimney! She is a little banged up and dirty, but Grandma is just fine and everyone is thrilled to see her! After seeing the real ending, I like the song now!

 

[Tracey1974]

It just isn't Christmas without that song.......

 

[dash]

I like both Grandma and Dominick! Hee Haw, Hee Haw!

Yep, I like it

I also like the parody about the New Kids on the Block, from way back when they were popular.

New Kids got run over by a reindeer
All the little children are in shock.
No more loud annoying high falsetto-oh-ohhh
Now there's no more New Kids on the Block.

They were singing their new hit song,
"Cover Girls With The Right Stuff".
Now they're trophies for a reindeer,
Mounted on his mantle, Hangin' Tough.

Many times I was mistaken,
When I went to see their show.
Danny, Donny, Joe, Jon, Jordan,
Or was it Larry, Curly, Shemp and Moe-oh-oh-oh-ohh?

New Kids got run over by a reindeer.
All the little children are in shock.
No more loud annoyin' high falsetto-oh-ohh
Now there's no more New Kids on the Block.

Now the New Kid fans are cryin',
And they say this really sucks!
But don't blame it on the reindeer,
'Cause I'm the one who gave him fifty bucks.

Life is great without the New Kids,
Now let's deal the final blow:
Drop our pants and hang our hineys,
And tell their fans it's really mistletoe-oh-oh-oh-ohh.

New kids got run over by a reindeer.
No more little brats for me to mock.
No more pre-pubescent high falsetto-oh-ohh
Now there's no more New Kids on the Block.

ETA - for some reason this has made me get that "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" song on my mind! Help!!!
