I wrote this song for my daughter Anna who said she wanted me to write a silly Christmas song about a reindeer...
lyrics
REINDEER (REALLY)
This Christmas please don’t give me tons of things
That I will be tired of when the new year rings
Oh, don’t give me candy or little toy dolls
Or those stretchy hands that stick up on the wall
I don’t need a stocking as big as my head
That’s filled up with junk like what’s under my bed
I only want one thing in front of my eyes
When I’m out of my bed on 12/25
I want a reindeer, that’s right, a reindeer
I want a reindeer and it better be able to fly
I want a reindeer, not just any old reindeer
Well I want a reindeer, so get ready to buy
I don’t need a sweater that I’ll never wear
Please don’t buy socks or brand new underwear
I don’t know one person who likes candy canes
So don’t waste your time or your money that way
Don’t give me wrapped up gifts, I will refuse
This year I want something I’ll really use
I’m tired of riding the bus to the school
And bumming for rides everywhere isn’t cool
I want a reindeer, you heard me a reindeer
I want a reindeer and it better be able to fly
I want a reindeer, not just any old reindeer
But I’m not picky, It can be a girl or a guy
