PULLING SANTA\u00e2\u20ac\u2122S SLEIGH<\/h3>\n

Words and Music by Gary Powell<\/i> <\/p>\n

It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not easy being reindeer
\nIt\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s something we don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t hear
\nWe think they play and romp and glow
\nFilling snowy skies with cheer<\/p>\n

We think their little hoofs clip-clop
\nUpon our roofs with glee
\nWe never know and never see
\nHow reindeer life might really be<\/p>\n

So, let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s get real and look behind
\nWe\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve got a back stage pass to find
\nTo help our furry friends unwind
\nThe task is clear and help is near
\nIt\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not easy being reindeer<\/p>\n

First, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m guessing they must workout
\nSummer, Winter, Spring and Fall
\nYou know they have to be in shape
\nTo deliver bowling balls<\/p>\n

And bikes and trains
\nDo they complain?
\nThese gifts must weigh a ton
\nIt\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not easy being Reindeer
\nWe thought it would be fun
\nYeah, right!
\nIt\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not easy being Reindeer
\nThe fun I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve had is none<\/p>\n

It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s always dead of winter
\nAnd the chimney smoke is thick
\nThe snow-filled wind is blowing
\nAnd Cupid, well, she kicks<\/p>\n

Comet glides across the sky
\nAnd flying is a breeze
\nBut Dasher sneezes all the time
\nDonner\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s allergy is cheese<\/p>\n

(CHORUS)<\/p>\n

Now flying\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not that hard
\nAnd landing\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not that tough
\nBut these endless take-offs from each roof
\nThey get a little rough<\/p>\n

Have you ever seen a runway
\nWhen airplanes start to zoom?
\nThey\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re long and nice and yes, de-iced
\nThese Reindeer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s need more room!<\/p>\n

Then, Rudolph, he gets all the press
\nHis bright red lighted nose
\n But Rudolph doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t rhyme
\nJust upper management that glows<\/p>\n

Dancer works with Prancer
\nThey both shoot way under par
\nAnd Vixen works with Blitzen
\nGive the whole team a gold star<\/p>\n

Dash away, dash away, dash away all<\/p>\n

They hear that \u00e2\u20ac\u0153dash away\u00e2\u20ac\u009d a lot
\nNot sure just what it means
\nBut I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m guessing sprinting is involved
\nI hope they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re in their teens<\/p>\n

Reindeers pulled sleds long ago
\nOf that make no mistake
\nAnd even though it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just one night
\nIt\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not a piece of cake<\/p>\n

If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re worried they can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t find you
\nCause your home town is so small
\nTheir antlers, they have GPS
\nThey could find you in a mall<\/p>\n

Now we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve got to look at Santa
\nWho is his own zip code
\nIt wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t hurt to loose some weight
\nWould you want to pull that big, wide load?<\/p>\n

(CHORUS)<\/p>\n

Just when they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve got a head of steam
\nThe man in red says, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153whoa\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\nA million times they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve heard it now
\nHow about more dough?<\/p>\n

But here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the thing that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s different
\nAnd it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hard to understand
\nThe Reindeer, they don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t act like us
\nThey like to take command<\/p>\n

The hard work, well, they like that too
\nEven though it has no end
\nCause they know the gifts they really bring
\nAnd this is not pretend<\/p>\n

They do their job and live their lives
\nWith their North Pole family
\nThey know they are important
\nAnd yes, they do it all with glee<\/p>\n

And though they cannot see us
\nWhile pulling that big sleigh
\nThey know that all our faces
\nAre lit-up on Christmas day<\/p>\n

Though it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hard to be a Reindeer
\nAnd they never get their pay
\nOur four-legged friends are proud to be
\nPulling Santa\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Sleigh<\/p>\n

Our four-legged friends are proud to be
\nPulling Santa\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Sleigh<\/p>\n

RUDOLPH, DASHER , DANCER AND PRANCER
\nCOMET, CUPID , DONNER
\nVIXEN AND BLITZEN <\/p>\n
