Gene Autry – Nine Little Reindeer lyrics

A long long time ago
As all you folks should know
Ol' Santa started loading up his sleigh
A smile on every face
Each reindeer took his place
To bring us joy on Christmas Day
With one little, two little, three little reindeer
Four little, five little, six little reindeer
Seven little, eight little, yes eight little reindeer
Pulling Santa's sleigh

There's Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comit, Cupid, Donder, Blitzen
But there's one little reindeer missing, Rudolf is his name

For a long long time
He had hitched up nine
To make his Christmas ride
Now Rudolph's gone
He's so alone
Santa Claus sat down and cried

With one little, two little, three little reindeer
Four little, five little, six little reindeer
Seven little, eight little, yes eight little reindeer
Pulling Santa's sleigh

It's been a year
Since we've been here
And how the time it goes
Where have you been
My little friend?
"Shining up my nose"

With one little, two little, three little reindeer
Four little, five little, six little reindeer
Seven little, eight little, nine little reindeer
Pulling Santa's sleigh

Peace on earth and goodwill to all
and a very merry Christmas day
