Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer

G

Grandma got run over by a reindeer

C

Walking home from our house Christmas eve.

G

You can say there's no such thing as Santa,

D G

But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

Em D

She'd been drinkin' too much egg nog,

G

And we'd begged her not to go.

C

But she forgot her medication,

D G

So she stumbled out the door into the snow.

When they found her Christmas morning,

At the scene of the attack.

There were hoof prints on her forehead,

And incriminating claws marks on her back.

Chorus

Now were all so proud of Grandpa,

He's been takin' this so well.

See him in there watchin' football,

Drinkin' beer and playin' 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 her gifts or send them back?

Chorus

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've 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.

Chorus
