Rudolph Drank Too Much Eggnog
Santa wasn’t in a good mood and I will tell you why
You see Rudolph wasn't in any condition to fly
Santa threw a party early Christmas Eve night
And good old Rudolph spotted eggnog in his sight
So Rudolph helped himself and drank quite a bit
And well you could say Rudolph got pretty much lit
Santa didn't realize it until it was too late
Now Santa didn’t have any time to wait
The other reindeers tried to get Rudolph to stand up
But all Rudolph could do was lay there and Hiccup
He tried to stand but the room was spinning and it wouldn't stop
Rudolph knew there wouldn't be any way he'd land on any rooftop
But he was determined so he staggered all the way to the sleigh
Santa threw his hands up and told Rudolph "get the hell away,
There's no way I'm going to let you fly, you're a mess
There isn’t any way you're going to remember anyone's address."
In his own defense he wanted to say something but he burped instead
Oh there was so much thumping and pounding going on in his head
Then all of a sudden Rudolph broke out in a silly looking dance
Come on Santa, he begged, "won't you please give me a chance?"
Sorry Rudolph you're not going be able to fly this year
If you haven't figured it out the eggnog was spiked with beer
Rudolph was mad but there wasn’t anything he could really do
"Sleep it off!" yelled Santa then away the reindeers flew
So Rudolph danced, he hiccupped and he burped to his very own tune
He passed out and didn’t wake up until sometime in the afternoon
But boy did he pay the price because he got oh so sick
So next year Eggnog is not going to be the drink he picks.
