Parody of "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer" ©copyright 1949 by Gene Autry / Johnny Marks [Instrumental Sleighbell Intro] [Verse 1] Ricky the ring-nosed reindeer Had a shiny metal ring, And if you ever saw it, You would say, “What a painful thing!” All of the other reindeer Used to laugh and shake their heads— They never let poor Ricky Join in games for fear he’d drop dead. [Verse 2] Then one foggy Christmas Eve, Santa came to say: “Ricky, with your nose ring stuck In the wreath again— you’re out of luck!” Oh, how the reindeer face-palmed, Watching Ricky tug and pry; His nose was red from swelling, And his eyes were about to cry [Bridge] He got it caught on sleigh bells, He snagged it on the stable door. Last week it got infected, Now it’s twice the size it was before! [Interlude] [Verse 3] Santa was getting worried— (ooo ooo) Christmas Eve was slipping by. (aaah aaah) Ricky said, “I’ll still guide you!” Then his nose ring poked an elf’s eye. (poked an elf's eye) All of the reindeer shouted: (ooo oooo) “Santa, please just let him stay!” (stay—) But Santa wrapped his nose up, And they made it through the night— hooray! (Hooray!) [Final Tag] Ricky the ring-nosed reindeer (ring-nosed reindeer) Learned a lesson, so they say: If you’re a working reindeer, (working reindeer) Piercings might just get in the way! [Outro - Slow] Ricky the ring-nosed reindeer Had a shiny metal ring, If you’re a working reindeer, Piercings might just get in the way!
