I' sorry - I just had to.....

Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer
By Randy Brooks
Sung by Elmo & Patsy Shropshire
Elmo was actually a veterinarian in northern California, so I'm told. He and his ex-wife, Patsy, did a number of novelty tunes, of which this is, by far, the most famous (or infamous):

CH: Grandma got run over by a reindeer
    walkin' 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 egg nog.
And we'd begged her not to go.
But she'd forgot her medication,
and she staggered out the door into the snow.

When we found her Christmas mornin,'
at the scene of the attack.
She had hoof prints on her forehead,
And incriminatin' Claus marks on her back.

CH: Grandma got run over by a reindeer,
    walkin' home from our house Christmas eve.
    You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
    but as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

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 Belle.

It's not Christmas without Grandma.
All the family dressed in black.
And we just can't help but wonder:
Should we open up her gifts or send them back?
(Send them back)

CH: Grandma got run over by a reindeer,
    walkin' home from our house Christmas eve.
    You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
    But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

Now the goose is on the table.
And the pudding made of fig.
And a blue and silver candle,
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.

CH: Grandma got run over by a reindeer,
    walkin' home from our house, Christmas eve.
    You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
    but as for me and Grandpa, we believe.
    (Sing it Grandpa)

CH: (in deep baritone)
    Grandma got run over by a reindeer,
    walkin' home from our house, Christmas eve.
    You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
    but as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

    Merry Christmas

Subject: Christmas parodies jingle bombs
From: GUEST, From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/jingle-bom

Dashing through the sand
with a bomb strapped to my back.
I have a nasty plan
for Christmas in Iraq.

I got through checkpoint A,
but not through checkpoint B.
That's when I got shot in the ass
by the US Military!

Oooh, jingle bombs, jingle bombs
Mine blew up you see.
Where are all the virgins
that Bin Laden promised me?

Oooh, jingle bombs, jingle bombs
U.S. soldiers shot me dead.
The only thing that I have left
is this towel up on my head.

]

I used to be a man,
but every time I cough,
thanks to Uncle Sam,
my nuts keep falling off.

My bombing days are done.
I need to find some work.
Perhaps it would be much safer
as a convenient store night clerk.

Oooh, jingle bombs, jingle bombs
I think I got screwed.
Don't laugh at me because I'm dead
or I'll kill you!

This is ment to n ot affened any one so dont takeit seriously

Subject: Lyr Add: RAGNAR THE FLAT-NOSED REINDEER (Boreson)
From: Jim Dixon
Date: 29 Jun 11 - 06:36 PM

This version sung by Stan Boreson is very similar to the version called RANDOLPH THE FLAT-NOSED REINDEER, sung by Homer & Jethro—see their version above. I don't know whose version came first. "Ragnar" is appropriate since Boreson, as usual, sings his parodies in a Scandinavian accent. You can hear it at YouTube. Note that Boreson has an introductory verse and an extra bridge that are not in H&J's version.

RAGNAR THE FLAT-NOSED REINDEER
As sung by Stan Boreson (& Doug Setterberg)
This is track #06 on their album "I Yust Go Nuts at Christmas"

You know, Oscar, this song about Prancer and Vixen (Ya?)
Sounds mighty fine but the words need some fixin'. (Oh?)
Though the tune's the same,
We've changed old Rudolph's name. (To what, pray tell?)

We call him Ragnar the flat-nosed reindeer—had a funny-looking snout,
So Santa cut his nose off, just to try and smooth it out,
And when he sewed his nose on, Santa got it upside down.
Now ev'ry time the rain falls, poor old Ragnar nearly drowns.
Then one foggy Christmas eve, Santa came to say:
"Ragnar, with your nose so flat,
Won't you tell me where it's at?"
Then Ragnar took a deep breath, and he looked so very strange.
He said, "We're out behind the stockyards. Hoo! How I wish the wind would change!"

(It'll never get well if you pick it.)
(No. Now spell on your bells. Beautiful!)

Ragnar got a Christmas cold; he caught it in his snoot,
And ev'ry time he blew his nose, he found he blew his mind to boot.
Rooty-toot toot!

(Ragnar was a way-out reindeer.)

Ragnar the flat-nosed reindeer wished his nose would glow instead,
But it would never light up, 'cause all his batteries was dead!

(He burnt himself out at an early age.)

Here's a parody involving Robin Hood and Santa

Chorus:

Robin got run over by a reindeer
Walking back from Sherwood Christmas Eve
You can say there's no such thing as Santa
But as for me and Friar Tuck, we believe

All the outlaws down in Sherwood
Have switched their green wool tights to black.
Little John is on a bender,
Trying to find Santa and his pack.

We found Robin Christmas morning,
Lying face down in the snow.
He had hoofprints on his forehead
What an awful way for Robin Hood to go.

Lady Marian is crying,
And Will Scarlet's quite distressed
It's not Christmas without Robin
Nottingham's not really at its best.

Friar Tuck will do the requiem
"Dies Irae" will be sung
The gallant men who marched with Robin
Now will march with their bowstrings unstrung
