that reindeer can play guitar þarký sözü

it was a sweltering july at the north pole
with the mercury at a balmy forty-two
dasher, dancer, prancer, vixen,
comet, cupid, donner, blitzen
were shvitzin´ with nothin´ to do
(they were tired of reindeer games)

into the lodge strolled raymond
what a reindeer! everybody´s pal.
he thought that he might try
to get on santa´s better side
by raising the reindeer morale
(rudolph had a red nose-- raymond´s was brown.)

he said to fred the elf
"you see that guitar on the shelf?
i can´t get for myself?would you?"
and everyone agreed
yeah, music´s what we need
hey ray, can you play a song or two?

please do.

chorus
raymond, you´re a reindeer with talent
someday you may be a star
the world´s gonna say
have you hear about ray?
that reindeer can play guitarnow, it´s true raymond knew about music
his guitar licks were tastier than salt
though he felt a little tense
when someone in the audience
said "you better be good ?cause santa´s watching"
oy gevalt!

but he picked up that guitar and started wailing
and he nailed a couple very fancy moves
all the elves and santa claus
stood with open jaws
?cause it´s hard to play guitar with hooves

there were praises from ray´s reindeer family
as they looked upon their kin with new regard
and his cousin who saved christmas
with that shiny red proboscis
said "raymond, i´ve got this agent?
here´s his card."

chorus
raymond, you´re a reindeer with talent
someday you may be a star
the world´s gonna say
have you heard about ray?
that reindeer can play guitar

jingle bells, jingle bells
jingle all the way
listen to that caribou
he´s doing purple haze

old raymond was content to play the small gigs
making doe-s, his future rosy and bright
then his agent got the mother-of-all gigs
said "you´re playing the tonight show?tonight
oy!

he said raymond you´ll be famous by the morning
i claim your name will be the latest rage
a star will be born
another stevie ray fawn
and with that he pushed ray onto the stage

some say it was a bad case of stage-fright
the stress of the big night ? who knows?
but it happened when they turned on the spotlight
like a deer caught in the headlights --- he froze.

raymond you´re a reindeer with talent
but that´ll only get you so far
if you want to hit the heights
theny ou gotta handle light
and maybe someday
the world will say
that reindeer can play guitar.
