I came upon a roadkill deer 

A sorrowful sight to behold 

He lay upon the highway's edge 

His body was stiff and cold 



I bet he never saw the car 

Careening through the snow 

The lights shone brightly in his eyes 

And then they laid him low 



I came upon a roadkill deer 

And lifted him off the road 

We'll all enjoy a Christmas feast 

Of Bambi sloppy joes 



Be careful of those gravel bits 

They really get stuck in your teeth 

We'll place the antlers from his head 

Upon our holiday wreath 



(I came upon a roadkill deer) 

(A sorrowful sight to behold) 

He gave his all to bring good cheer 

As thumper mistletoe
