Christmas-Songs.Org: Leroy The Redneck Reindeer
Well, you've all heard about Rudolph and his nose
But I'll tell you a Christmas tale that never has been told;
Well, you may think you've heard it all but you ain't heard yet
About that crazy Christmas that the North pole can't forget.
Rudolph was under the weather, he had to call in sick
So he got on the horn to his cousin Leroy, who lived out in the sticks;
He said, "Santa's really counting on me and I hate to pass the buck."
Leroy said "Hey I'm on my way," and he jumped in his pick-up truck.
When Leroy got to the North Pole all the reindeer snickered and laughed
They'd never seen a deer in overalls and a John Deere Tractor hat;
But Santa stepped in and said: "Just calm down cause we've all got a job to do
"And like it or not, Leroy's in charge, and he's gonna be leading you."
And it was Leroy, the red neck reindeer
Hooked to the front of the sleigh
Delivering toys to all the good ole boys and girls along the way
He's just a down home party animal, two-stepping across the sky
He mixed jingle bells with a rebel yell, and made history that night.
Before that night was over, Leroy had changed their tune
He had them scootin' a hoof on every single roof, by the light of a neon moon;
Santa wrapped his bag with a Dixie flag, he was having the time of his life
And you can hear him call Merry Christmas y'all, and to all of y'all a good night.
And it was Leroy, the red neck reindeer
Hooked to the front of the sleigh
Delivering toys to all the good ole boys and girls along the way
He's just a down home party animal, two-stepping across the sky
He mixed jingle bells with a rebel yell, and made history that night.
He mixed jingle bells with a rebel yell, and made history that night.
