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:
R: 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.
R: 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?
R: 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.
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."
R: Grandma got runned over by a reindeer
Walking home from our house Christmas Eve.
(Minding her own business)
You can say there`s no such thing as Santa,
(What do you mean there`s no Santa?)
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.
(Lord, we believe)
Oh
As for me and Grandpa, we believe.
(We believe in Santa Claus.)
