Have Reindeer, Will Travel

Though you may think it's ridiculous

I overheard I swear

Right from the mouth of St. Nicholas:

"Have reindeer - will travel!"

You takes the jets that you see today

Fly through the frosty air

I'd rather stick to my good old sleigh!

Have reindeer - will travel!

Those astronauts can take a back seat

Whenever I zoom in space

That goes for men like Shepard and Glenn

As over the roads I race

Toys from the bag full to tickle us

Bundles of gifts to share

"Cer-rack!" goes the whip of St. Nicholas

Come Donder - come Blitzen, now Cupid, come Vixen

Have reindeer - will travel!

(Doo-be doo...)

Have reindeer will travel!

(La la-la-la...)

Have reindeer will travel!

Now I've got toys especially for boys

The old bear 'Applesauce'

And for the girls a dolly with curls

A present from Santa Claus

West of the moon and beyond the stars

Over the world I go

Wherever good little children are

From island to isthmus

'Round midnight each Christmas

Have reindeer - will travel!
