I Shot Rudolph

Chorus

I shot Rudolph, I didn't see his nose

Nothing I could do, besides make reindeer stew

How was I supposed to know, when his nose didn't glow

He made some tasty jerky, much better than a Christmas turkey

Post-Chorus

Oh yeah, reindeer stew

Oh yeah, what could I do

Verse 2

I was out late, hunting in the snow

Didn't hear a jingle, just a hoof in a row

Mama said "Be careful, don't be hasty, son"

Now I've got enough meat till the New Year comes

Pre-Chorus

Santa won't forgive me, but craving won the fight

I didn't see that red light on that snowy, snowy night

Chorus

I shot Rudolph, I didn't see his nose

Nothing I could do, besides make reindeer stew

How was I supposed to know, when his nose didn't glow

He made some tasty jerky, much better than a Christmas turkey

Post-Chorus

Oh yeah, reindeer stew

Oh yeah, what could I do

Post-Chorus

Mmmm venison steaks and salami

Yeah that's the life for me

Bridge

Now the rumors are spreading, down at the old roadhouse

Santa's missing Rudolph, folks whisper and grouse

But I'm grilling and chilling, my plate piled high

Guess I'll save a slice if the big man drives by

Outro

So if you see me smiling with a peppery bite

Remember that sleigh won’t be flying tonight

I shot Rudolph, but I didn't know

Now I'm feasting, while the cold winds blow
