Grandma Got Run-over by a Reindeer - The Irish Rovers

Grandma got run 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 drinking too much eggnog

And we begged her not to go

But she forgot her medication, and she

Staggered out the door into the snow

When we found her Christmas morning

At the scene of the attack

She had hoof-prints on her forehead

And incriminating Claus marks on her back

Now we’re all so proud of grandpa

He’s been taking this so well

See him in there watching football

Drinking root 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?

Send them back!

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 on 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
