OLIVE THE OTHER REINDEER)
Based on Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer by Gene Autry


You know of Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen,
Comet and Cupid and Donder and Blitzen.
But there's one people don't recall,
The unluckiest reindeer of all.

Olive the other Reindeer
A reindeer that nobody knows,
All they ever hear is Rudolph
And that ruddy glowing nose.

We know all the other reindeer,
Know them by their Christian names.
But people forget poor Olive,
Even though they sing her name.

That foggy Christmas Eve,
When Santa came to call,
Rudolph and Olive were leading that night,
Having just one just wasn't right.

But poor old Olive was desperate,
Needed to go and have a pee.
So Santa started out without her,
And Rudolph's down in history.

Music break

Olive the other Reindeer,
Forgotten everywhere she goes
All you ever hear is Rudolph,
And that ruddy glowing nose.

Olive the other reindeer
Was due to lead that sleigh as well
If she hadn't had a call of nature,
We'd be singing, about her as well.

That foggy Christmas Eve,
When Santa came to call,
Rudolph and Olive were leading that night,
Having just one just wasn't right.

The reindeer all became big film stars,
Except the one nobody see's,
Olive the other Reindeer,
Shouldn't have stopped for a pee.
