Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer Lyrics - Cledus T. Judd

Well, a couple of good friends of mine, Elmo and Patsy, wrote me 

And said they'd written the perfect country Christmas comedy song 

I said, "No, you didn't, you didn't mention nothing about" 

Well, yeah, you pretty much got it all, I mean grandma 

And of course the family and getting drunk 

And run over by heavy machinery and 

Well, since I needed the money 

I felt obliged to include it on this record 

And it goes a little something like this 

Grandma got run over by a reindeer 

Walking home from our house Christmas Eve 

You can say there's no such thing as Santa 

But as for me and Grandpa, we believe 

She'd been drinkin' too much eggnog 

And we'd begged her not to go 

But she'd forgot her medication 

And she staggered out the door into the snow 

When they found her Christmas mornin' 

At the scene of the attack 

She had hoof prints on her forehead 

And incriminatin' Claus marks on her back 

Grandma got run over by a reindeer 

Walking home from our house Christmas Eve 

You can say there's no such thing as Santa 

But as for me and Grandpa, we believe 

Now, we're all so proud of Grandpa 

He's been takin' this so well 

See him in there watchin' football 

Drinkin' beer and playin' cards with cousin Mell 

It's not Christmas without Grandma 

All the family's dressed in black 

And we just can't help but wonder 

Should we open up her gifts or send them back? 

Send them back 

Grandma got run over by a reindeer 

Walking home from our house Christmas Eve 

You can say there's no such thing as Santa 

But as for me and Grandpa, we believe 

Now the goose is on the table 

And the pudding made of fig 

And a blue and silver candle 

That would have just matched the hair in grandma's wig 

I've warned all my friends and neighbors 

Better watch out for yourselves 

They should never give a license 

To a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves 

Grandma got run over by a reindeer 

Walking home from our house Christmas Eve 

You can say there's no such thing as Santa 

But as for me and Grandpa, we believe 

Grandma got run over by a reindeer 

Walking home from our house Christmas Eve 

You can say there's no such thing as Santa 

But as for me and Grandpa we belive
