Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer - The Irish Rovers

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 drinking too much eggnog

And we begged her not to go

But she left her medication

And she stumbled out the door into the snow

When they found her Christmas morning

At the scene of the attack

There were hoofprints on her forehead

And incriminating claws marks on her back

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 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?

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 puddin' made a face

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

(Or plays with elves...)
